Speaking of that. I tried to follow the instructions at
<https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/running/qemu.html> yesterday. It
seems to be very much in need of updating.

Since the section is about use on Debian it should at least mention the
packages (qemu-kvm) that need installing for the kvm command to work
properly. The links are also all stale, though at least there are
working redirectors in place.
