I could not find any documentation of support for the kqemu
acceleration. As kvm is not available on all machines and kqemu
supposedly makes the emulation faster as well as workarounds bugs in the
software CPU emulation it somewhat troublesome that it is no longer
supported.

kqemu is not present upstream anymore.  I'd say it were a bug to
enable it in the first place, but now it's fixed.  Yes, there are
machines out there without SVM/VMX support where kqemu were handy,
but it was quite a big mess and were dropped for good.

thanks

it is not supported upstream any longer, and unless upstream supports it, we
cannot realistically do so in debian.

leaving bug open as wontfix, so that others can find the issue.
