[Bug 556312] Re: libvirt/kvm relationships (suggest vs. recommend)

This is related to Bug #589888.

virt-manager currently recommends libvirt-bin, which itself recommends
qemu-kvm. Thus, when you install virt-manager (even if you just want to
manage remote machines), you get the whole hypervisor stack.

I think I agree with you -- that's wrong. I'm going to fix both of these
bugs, lowering these to Suggests in Maverick.

There may be some documentation that needs updating, and perhaps a
release note.

We have a couple of meta packages, ubuntu-virt-server and ubuntu-virt-
mgmt that should be used instead, if someone wants to install the whole
stack.

** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => In Progress

** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => In Progress
