I'm currently running a number of virtual hosts under qemu/kvm backed by
iscsi storage and would like to move the storage onto glusterfs.
Unfortunately, Debian's qemu does not come with gluster support.  When
searching for information on this, I came across this bug report:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=775431

It was tagged wontfix in Oct 2015 and closed Dec 2016.  The basic reason
for the wontfix is that gluster is packaged in a way which makes it
infeasible to provide gluster support in the core qemu package, or even
to create a qemu-glusterfs package, and this in turn is because upstream
does things in a way which would make it difficult to maintain a stable
glusterfs-dev package.

Has this situation changed at all since then?  Assuming it hasn't, is
there a recommended procedure for replacing the standard Debian qemu
with a version which adds gluster support?
