Backporting testing Qemu to buster

[Rishub <rishub@protonmail.ch>]

Hi all,

I am attempting to backport qemu-1.4 to buster. I am following the SimpleBackportGuide: https://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation

I used the Judd IRC bot to check if it were possible, and it told me that it was not since libslirp0 wasn't available on Buster, however, I have created and installed a backport of that package, so I should be able to create the qemu package, correct?

Following that assumption, I downloaded the qemu package's source from bullseye, and followed the steps. My package failed at the fakeroot step with the below error. I am not sure why it's complaining about qemu being missing? Any guidance on backport creation or how to interpret these errors would be very helpful. Thanks!
