Nothing on my machine uses it today, as far as I can tell.

(I don't oppose this use in Linux -- I think it's an excellent way to 
package apps -- but I'm not sure qemu should be the first app to do 
this.  It needs buy-in from distros)

((but we're actually talking about something slightly different; 
packaging data vs packaging apps))
