Bug Description
The pattern is pretty established to try to create something like a -extra or -uncommon package to provide the features requiring universe packages for optional use (via a suggest).
That is still good (by default only well supported backends are available) but nicer to users that need any such feature.
With the recent change of our qemu builds going all in on more modular builds it might be possible to enable several of them and clearly worth a try.
Candidates:
19 # libcapstone is in universe in ubuntu
20 :debian:# --enable-
21 :debian: libcapstone-dev (>> 4.0.2~),
58 :debian:# --enable-libnfs
59 :debian: libnfs-dev,
92 # vde is debian-only since ubuntu/vde2 is in universe
93 :debian:# --enable-vde
94 :debian: libvdeplug-dev,
If either of them turn into modules (instead of changes to the core binary) we could consider adding them this way.
