And from there I think the thing to do will be to introduce a transient alternate package that has the pc-1.0 alias pointing ot pc-1.0-qemu-kvm
This should be done in the main package, too.
That seems like a problem, unless I"m misunderstanding something. If we do that in the main package, then anyone running a pc-1.0 system under the qemu package won't be able to migrate. Wouldn't it be better to have pc-1.0 alias by default point to the pc-1.0-qemu machine type?
and depends on the legacy pxe rom.
If you can make the pxe-virtio.rom file 64k or less, then that would be a good idea for 14.04 in general. Newer machine types use efi-virtio.rom, so you won't break "-M pc" migration.
Hm. No idea offhand how I'd do that, but it sounds worth looking into. thanks, -serge
