The binfmt_misc kernel module is included in the stock Debian kernels,
AFAIK.  There is a nice package, binfmt-support (ala
update-alternatives) that allows one to easily configure binfmt_misc:


Package: binfmt-support
Support for extra binary formats

The binfmt_misc kernel module, contained in versions 2.1.43 and later of
the Linux kernel, allows system administrators to register interpreters
for various binary formats based on a magic number or their file
extension, and cause the appropriate interpreter to be invoked whenever
a matching file is executed. Think of it as a more flexible version of
the #! executable interpreter mechanism.

This package provides an 'update-binfmts' script with which package
maintainers can register interpreters to be used with this module
without having to worry about writing their own init.d scripts, and
which sysadmins can use for a slightly higher-level interface to this
module.
