[Bug 448655] [NEW] qemu-kvm-extras package description does not indicate what it contains

[nandhp]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

After upgrading to Karmic I noticed that only qemu-kvm is supported
anymore but it does not include any support for non-x86 architectures.
The package description for qemu-kvm-extras provides no indication that
it contains the qemu binaries for non-x86 architectures. The package
description for qemu-kvm-extras should include a paragaraph similar to
this one:

This package contains QEMU emulator binaries for non-x86 architectures.

The package description for qemu-kvm should also include something like
this:

This package contains support for the x86 and x86-64 architectures only.
Support for other architectures is provided by the qemu-kvm-extras package.

(On a further note, the man pages for the non-x86 architecutures are in
the qemu-kvm package and not in the qemu-kvm-extras package)
