+GNS3 is already in stable! This package is broken - no dynamips (=no 
+router emulation at all...), no patched qemu (no virtualization support 
+at all...) According to the developers and their online documentation 
+for package maintainers http://forum.gns3.net/post11571.html UDP patched 
+Qemu is dependency/very important.
+
+We must fix the package and provide at least not so heavy broken ones...
+
+I've prepared new version of GNS3, included into svn dynamips and 
+xdotool (this one suggested) - these I can maintain with my mentor, so I 
+ask for patch qemu in stable versus UDP support.
