Hi!

Vagrant Cascadian <vagrant@debian.org> skribis:

Yes, it sounds like we could/should do that too!

We=E2=80=99ll end up having big qemu-* binaries, each one with its own copy=
 of
glibc, for instance.  Is there something smart we could do to avoid
ending up with a huge package?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
