I'm currently following this due to on-going nettle transitions being blocked by current v5 (removed from archive so migrations could happen).

Latest upstream status:

https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-07/msg05547.html

On-going discussions if monitoring available physical memory is a good metric to decide TCG available memory, due to possible capping from containers/cgroups.

I'm retrying systemd tests (autopkgtests failed for previous qemu version) to help in finishing the migrations.. and will wait a bit more time to see if they come up into a final conclusion.

I could tackle this with a temporary patch using patch from Alex, or even the similar approach - sysconf(_SC_PHYS_PAGES) - proposed by Christian... but I would be only allowing v5 not to block other packages in migration without a final solution...

If needed I can do it, but let's wait a bit longer for upstream for now...
