Bug Description

Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

qemu-deboostrap will use qemu to build lpia targets on i386 or amd64, and to build i386 targets on lpia. This is entirely not required, as lpia *is* i386 for all intents and purposes.

Debdiff with more filtering Edit (1.1 KiB, text/plain)

The attached debdiff generates a candidate with increased filtering of host/target combinations to not use qemu for lpia.

is that still an issue with lpia deprecated? should the sponsor be unsubscribed or the bug closed?

This remains an issue as long as lpia is a supported architecture on a supported release. As lpia was included in hardy, this means that it remains interesting until 2013 or so, for those who may want to investigate or resolve any outstanding architecture-specific bugs that may exist. The debdiff no longer applies cleanly, as the qemu-kvm package has been updated several times since the bug was posted (including by me), but the patch to qemu-debootstrap itself ought remain valid.

I believe the bug ought remain in the sponsors queue until either uploaded, or rejected for some specific failure in the implementation.

qemu-kvm_0.12.5+noroms-0ubuntu2.debdiff Edit (1.2 KiB, text/plain)

Your debdiff doesn't apply any more. I had to resolve it manually.
