We were discussing this with regard to the 5.3 release but didn't have time to sort out. Having a wrapper that checks the image file format and picks the right vm is not in principle difficult; we just need someone to write it.

The unix package for example already has a shell script that does a fair bit of fiddle-faddle. Adding use of the image format command wouldn't make a lot of difference.
