+- Add #!ForceMultiversion to qemu.spec:
+  + As the spec file defines different Version: fiels for various
+    subpackages, we must instruct OBS to not ever reset the
+    checkin-counter, as it would by defalut on a version increase.
+    Resetting the version counter results in sub-packages reusing
+    their VERSION-RELEASE from the past (e.g. qemu-ipxe is version
+    1.0.0+, and upon checkin of a new qemu version, RELEASE is
+    reset to 1.1, thus again producing
+    qemu-ipxe-1.0.0+-1.1.noarch.rpm.
