Ah now I think I understand Paul's question. I didn't know that the
userland version was not always provided. I've always had both side
by side.

As Paul indicated, it's really trouble-free and I think I've only done
that since the very first day I started to use QEMU, reason why I probably
never noticed that not everything was packaged.
Then at least to respond to Paul, it could make sense to add a note that
on some distros the userland version might not always be provided and
might require a pretty simple rebuild of QEMU.
Thanks!
Willy
