Hmm, that sounds annoying.

Watch out, you could end up being the new upstream :)

I guess the release team might accept patches to britney for this but
I've also a vague memory that they prefer arches to be self-contained.

You can use arch-test to find out which arches a specific system can run.
I guess qemu-user can't run all arches though, like kFreeBSD.
