I'm assuming you installed "plain qemu", i.e. not qemu-kvm. The package qemu
itself has no executable files (cf [1]). But it depends (among others) on
qemu-user, which should thus have been pulled in, and that one *has* binaries
(cf [2]) -- one for each architecture emulated, i.e. /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64,
/usr/bin/qemu-alpha, and so on. So when you call qemu, you'll have to
decide which architecture you want to emulate.

If you want to emulate the same processor your're running on (and if it
supports hardware virtualization via KVM, consider qemu-kvm: much faster.

    I'm assuming you have amd64 architecture and stable (jessie).
    Adjust URL to taste :)

[2] https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/qemu-user/filelist
    The same as in [1] applies if you're not "on" Jessie or amd64.
