Just that it is not lost,
debian provides a facility to provide normally incompatible binaries. (eg, different versions, different vendors) they call it alternatives. (See /etc/alternatives)
one example: jvm. or cc. on my server:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/cc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Mar 19 13:10 /usr/bin/cc -> /etc/alternatives/cc
$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/cc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Mar 19 13:10 /etc/alternatives/cc -> /usr/bin/gcc
and you can select: $ upate-alternatives --list cc /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/clang
That way, we could provide different squeakvm's via this tool :)
Nope. That would work only if all VMs could open all images.
Why would that be a requirement?
