Dear Arnout Vandecappelle,

Still, the package doesn't use the autotools, so we shouldn't use the
autotools-package infrastructure for it. While it may work at current
time t, it may easily break at time t+1 if we make changes to the
autotools-package infrastructure that are relevant for autotools
packages, but that break the subtle assumptions that non-autotools
packages are making in their use of the autotools-package
infrastructure.

So no, let's make things explicit: Qemu doesn't not use the autotools,
they have a custom configure script, custom Makefiles, so we have to
use the generic-package infrastructure here.

Best regards,

Thomas
