  Version         : 3.4.2

  Description     : Xen Qemu Device Model virtual machine hardware emulator

This package is the Xen version of the Qemu emulator especially patched for
its hypervisor. With xen-qemu-dm, you can run a fully virtualized virtual
machine if your hardware supports it (Intel VT support, or AMD-v
technology).

Explanation on why this package is created:
Bastian Blank decided to remove xen-qemu-dm from his Xen packages, as he
believed he could not face any potential security issues in the Xen version
of Qemu. As many people still need HVM support in Xen, I have gathered a small
team of people that are reading the xen-devel list, to maintain this package:

Ian Jackson <Ian.Jackson@eu.citrix.com> -> Debian guy at Citrix
Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> -> Qemu guy at Citrix
Christian Motschke <christian@motschke.de> -> Volunteering
Samuel Thibault <sthibault@debian.org> -> Can help

so that I wont get stuck if there is any security issue on the package.
I will also build a private mailing list with the above persons registered,
so we can work as a team in case any issue is raised by the security team
or others.

I intend to be the main package maintainer, but I wont have any internal
knowledge of the source code, which is why I insisted on having help here.
This has already proven to be the right path, as Ian Jackson (and others)
have been of great help.

As Xen 3.4 wont ever be in Debian, I wont either package xen-qemu-dm for
it, so I'm closing this ITP.
