Bug#1063233: qemu-system-{arch} packages provide themselves

Package: qemu-system
Severity: minor

Hi,

Providing itself seems useless as it only adds complexity to the package
relationship graph with no added value.

This would be easily fixed with the following patch:

# construct list `arch1 arch2 (alias) arch3..' for Description
# and word-wrap it into two lines if too long
```

If I'm missing something, please disregard this report and close the bug. Thank
you.

Have a nice day,
