Bug description:
Binary package hint: kvm

qemu, through kvm, has support for VDE2 (Virtual Distributed Ethernet). The debian package includes vde2 in its list of Suggests but the current package has no Build-Depends libvdeplug2-dev.

The package is also not built with the configure option --enable-vde (obviously it would currently FTBS if it had this!)

As a result the binary package does not have support for VDE and therefore the 'Suggests' vde2 is misleading.
