Is to use debian package.
About upstream is needed to adding options on configure in order to use 
seabios and qemu upstream from distribution packages instead of building 
them.
I did fast check time ago without success. I don't know how to do it 
with configure parameters and qemu build (on libxl I not found exactly 
how to point an external binary package).

I thing is very useful, it helps me to save a lot of time onhundreds of 
tests build that I've done.
I think that now without this make debball is unusable, I think that 
atleast these parts must be applied:
- Remove version from installed package name for correct update
- Add conffiles to manage main config files on package update

I already posted it but rejected :(

supported only by qxl but qxl is not working for now)

Frediano posted it on qemu-devel time ago but it was not added for now.

I tried to solve it for more than one year without result, someone more 
than one year ago did patch to xl and qemu to solve 2 videoram bugs but 
recently nothing even if I continued to posted many times about.
