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

Further to my previous message, it appears that the nominal architecture 
makes no difference to qemu, as it emulates no CPU instructions: 
https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/QEMU_Upstream#Why_is_qemu-system-i386_used_even_on_x86_64_and_even_non-x86.3F

The qemu-system-i386 emulator is always used, regardless of the 
architecture being installed. So, while confusing, virt-manager's 
emulator specification is actually correct.
