[Slackbuilds-users] [qemu-static] update-binfmts --import — intended manual step?

Hi all,
qemu-static (maintained by Lockywolf) installs its binfmt profiles
into /usr/share/binfmts/, but neither the SlackBuild's doinst.sh nor
binfmt-support's rc.binfmt-support ever runs `update-binfmts --import`
— the rc script's start action only calls --enable, which activates
whatever's already in /var/lib/binfmts, not new profiles sitting in
/usr/share/binfmts.
So it looks like update-binfmts --import has to be run manually, once,
after installing — matching the manual runbook in the package's own
README. Is that intentional? If so, it might be worth adding a
one-line callout in the README, since it's easy to miss.
Thanks,
Julian
