[Bug 534155] Re: qemu-debootstrap uses qemu for lpia hosts and targets when not required

[Emmet Hikory]

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.

Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged

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.
