Hi,
I am not really in touch with emulator/virtualizer technology.
I used to use Qemu for cross packaging software (running Ubuntu as host,
packaging for Fedora/Debian/Other in 32/64bits in guests).
I love packaging ;-).
I asked for a while on Ubuntu/Debian ML for the  way yo have kqemu
packaged. I heard for the kvm possibility [1].

What is kvm related to kqemu: 
	- a replacement? 
	- a fork?
	- another way to accelerate qemu?

My use case:

I have mixed computers. 
- some 32bit without VT, 
- some 64Bit may be with or without VT
- I am planning to buy a Core 2 Duo for Xmas.
I package for Debian 32 & 64 bit and Fedora 32 & 64, and I run the
system I package for into Qemu.
I use Qemu to package on all my computers as well as I move.
I really want kqemu (or kvm if it's what I need) to be installed as a
package but not compiled from source on my Ubuntu hosts.

Is KVM a tool I could need?
Thank you.
