[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#830307: virt-manager: Virt-manager uses qemu-system-i386 /usr/lib/xen/bin

[Dave Hill]

Confirming this is still a problem in 10.2. Also, virt-manager appears 
to specify the wrong emulator in its optional configuration page. It 
says it's going to use qemu-system-i386, even though the architecture to 
be installed is x86_64. However, it will use a softlink to 
/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 to create a new vm.
