If this is also the case for all users, that the qemu-ga is always needed sep=

So then my suggestion would be to comment out in the qemu addon rootfile the =
qemu-ga entry.

Then I would suggest to create an additional lfs called qemu-ga, based on the=
 qemu lfs. Probably remove some the last lines that are creating a wrapper fo=
r kvm handling and the udev script. Then create a qemu-ga rootfile, based on =
the qemu rootfile but with everything commented out except the qemu-ga line a=
nd any of the /usr/share/entries that might be required for qemu-ga. That way=
 you have two addons that deal separately with qemu and with qemu-ga.

The above would be how I would try and approach it. You would basically need =
to give it a go and see if it works or not.

Regards,

Adolf.
