Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Not sure if it's a bug:
http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/1.0

i386-softmmu is no longer named qemu but instead referred to as qemu-system-i386 for better consistency with other targets. A new tool is likely to be introduced that uses the qemu name so distributions are advised to not undo this change.

Maybe for backward compatibility it would be better to mantain a link.

Arch doesn't patch upstream but you can create one yourself.

Of course, I've just done it. I just wonder if it's better to add a symbolic link in the package or not ...
