Dear maintainer(s),

I noticed that package due recommends qemu, which is currently not
available in unstable.

For example, it can be seen in:

- https://packages.debian.org/sid/due

(search for Packages not available)

qemu binary package I tink that existed, but not the qemu source package
does not provide any qemu binary package as seen in:

- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/qemu

Would it make sense to remove or update it? I am not sure which qemu
binary package is the equivalent, I wonder if qemu-user (but I haven't
used qemu for a long time)

Thank you for your time,
