How about just deprecating it?  For example, we could make
/usr/bin/qemu  be a script with:

#!/bin/bash
echo "warning: $0 is deprecated, use qemu-system-i386 instead"
exec qemu-system-i386 $@

It's not just cosmetic.  I recall you sent me some benchmarks (too bad
they didn't make it to the list, and I somehow lost that mail), but
they were done on i386 (which remains unaffected).  On x86_64, results
are different (specially if you have setup kqemu which only works with
qemu-system-x86_64).
