A provenpackager made that change at some point.

Are you building with 'fedpkg local'? if so, that sets the fedora macro to
equal the git branch version, not your host fedora version.

Ugh, that was my bad. I tested one thing and then committed another.
qemu-system-x86_64 is the intended binary.

The package still isn't built for rawhide though, koji was failing for me last
night. Seems like the docs aren't being built, but pod2man _is_ detected.
Might be related to texinfo or something, gonna try again now.
