That one might be acceptable, but it's still more suited for either DISTRO or local.conf.

I prefer to keep it since it is convenient and the overhead is trivial.

No. That will for qemu to be built for everyimage, which is stupid. If you want to use qemu you can do 'bitbake qemu-native' or install qemu on your host. Polluting EXTRA_IMAGEDEPENDS is not an option.

OK, will drop it.
