On my talk on IRC channel the "important" thing was that "qemu | head
-3" was the important thing. So if "qemu -h | head -3" and "qemu -help
| head -3" and "qemu | head -3" do the same, qemu -h would be the sane
thing.

Also etch is neither  my priority. I was bitten by this because I have
etch + some stuff from lenny. As libvirt is not on etch maybe the sane
thing to do would be add a versioned Recommends (if possible). I don't
know if Recommends lines can be versioned, conflicting with qemu < 0.9
is another option ;)

Thanks,
Marc
