I'm still waiting for this as well. No one seems to want to do it.

Should be easy since it's already been a Debian package for several years. Just needs to be included in main and added as a build dep of kvm. No other configuration required as far as I know.

Regarding kees concern about adding a daemon in main, vde_switch is very quite. It uses very little memory and almost no CPU. I haven't had any problems running it for months. Much better behaved than other daemons already in main like pulseaudio.

I've been rebuilding the kvm package from source. Works fine and automatically configures vde support as long as the vde2 package is installed before the kvm package is built.

I carefully read the requirements for MIR and followed directions. I would be nice to know that if you RTFM your voice will be heard. Nudge nudge.
