Yes, it should, but one important thing since 1.0 has been the merger of
qemu-kvm and QEMU.  What distribution are you using?  I know Fedora
allows qemu-kvm-1.0 to QEMU-1.6 compatibility, but I don't know about
others.

Michael Tokarev is the maintainer of the Debian package, so he may be
able to answer.
