[Bug 579723] Re: kvm memory ballooning is unusable in Lucid

[David Clarke]

Potentially better than copying the /usr/bin/kvm binary to
/usr/bin/kvm.real is to use dpkg-dirvert, then the shell script it's
replaced with (as per Michael R. Hines' suggestion) won't be over-
written on upgrade of the qemu-kvm package:

$ sudo dpkg-divert --add --rename --divert /usr/bin/kvm.real
/usr/bin/kvm

$ dpkg -S `which kvm`
local diversion from: /usr/bin/kvm
local diversion to: /usr/bin/kvm.real
qemu-kvm: /usr/bin/kvm

Best would be a fix backported to Lucid, of course.
