Bug Description

Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

grub2 upstream (tests/util/grub-shell.in) currently invokes qemu-system-i386, expecting that to exist. This works fine on Debian, but there seems to be a disparity in the Ubuntu packaging such that I gather I have to run qemu instead. This disparity is awkward; could we have a qemu-system-i386 symlink, or something?

For the record, I tried to solve this with the patch I posted to upstream grub at:

That said, it's trivial to fix with a symlink. So I just uploaded a fix that makes /usr/bin/qemu-system-i386 -> /usr/bin/qemu

Hope that helps, Colin!
