In a VM, starting with 5.21/edge with QEMU 8.2.1 and then refreshing to a locally built snap from this branch:

Cool that was a small change in the end then! Thanks

How did you find it?

Yeah, the kind I like :)

How did you find it?

Looking at the git branches generated by the git-ubuntu importer, I noticed the vendored wheels were deleted (possibly due to being ~binary blobs (zip files actually)).

Should I backport this to 5.0-edge to fast-forward the QEMU version to one that's supported?

Yes lets give that a go, thanks!
