Package: dracut-test
Version: 110-12
Severity: serious

Starting with version 11.0 (currently in sid), upstream qemu dropped support
for 32bit hosts entirely.  In particular, there's no qemu-system-* packages
on 32bit hosts (i386, armhf, etc) anymore.  But dracut-test depends on qemu
system packages, which prevents qemu from migrating to testing.

Please drop dependency on qemu-system-* (and qemu-utils, if any) on 32bit hosts.

Thanks,

/mjt
