Part of the problem here is that qemu-native has some "floating"
dependencies by design. If the native system has graphics support, qemu
will have too. If it doesn't it won't have. This works out to be quite
useful for people. Some people have headless build machines they don't
want to install X on, equally some have build machines which do have X
and they do want graphical qemu.

How do we support both?

Cheers,
