+qemu (1:7.0+dfsg-7) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  Starting with this version of qemu-system-x86 on x86 architecture, xen
+  support is moved out to a separate package named qemu-system-xen.  Xen
+  release since 4.16.1-1 already uses qemu binary from this package.  In
+  order to support transition from old xen and xen-supporting qemu-system-x86
+  to separate xen build of qemu, the qemu-system-i386 binary is temporarily
+  replaced by a shell wrapper which detects xen usage and if found, redirects
+  the call to xen-enabled qemu binary if found (with a warning), or suggests
+  to install qemu-system-xen package.  If you used qemu-system-x86 (or
+  qemu-system-x86-xen on Ubuntu) to run xen, please install qemu-system-xen.
+  qemu-system-x86 is not used by xen anymore since 4.16.1-1.

+qemu (1:5.0-9) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  With this version, kvm wrapper (initially from the separate kvm
+  package, which were later renamed to qemu-kvm) is merged back
+  to qemu-system-x86 package, replacing old qemu-kvm package.
+  'kvm' command name turned out to be very handy for manual
+  execution of qemu with kvm enabled, and we now rely on the
+  upstream behavor - when executable name ends with "kvm" it
+  enables the kvm mode by default if available, and falls back
+  to TCG if not.

+qemu (1.7.0+dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  Since version 1.7.0+dfsg-2, qemu-system-x86 switched from vgabios for
+  plex/bochs project to implementation of vgabios provided by seabios.
+  The latter is written almost entirely in C language so it is much easier
+  to debugu/develop, but it lacks some 16bit protected mode functions which
+  are present in vgabios.  This means that it is possible that, for eaxample,
+  some protected-mode games written for MS-DOS may not work since this
+  release.
+
+  This also means that vgabios package isn't used by qemu anymore, and might
+  be removed from the system if there are no other users of it left.
+
+
+  /usr/bin/kvm shell wrapper has been moved back to qemu-kvm package (it was
+  moved to qemu-system-x86 in version 1.3.0+dfsg-2exp).  Please note that we
+  do not re-install qemu-kvm package if it has been removed as obsolete, so
+  if you need /usr/bin/kvm wrapper please install qemu-kvm package again.
+  This change allows qemu-system-x86 package to co-exist with the old qemu-kvm
+  binary (not shell-wrapper) package from wheezy.
