To clarify, I meant: Is there any particular reason to not just upload
this fix *to Groovy* now? I know an SRU needs validation first.

Title:
libvirt restore exactly the old ownership of images
Status in libvirt:
Fix Released
Status in libvirt package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
Natty (and it was also the same on Maverick, IIRC).
When you assign an ISO to a VM, libvirt will take over onwership of
the ISO. This creates problems if the ISO is updated.
For example, I am daily updating the Natty server ISOs, and running
tests on them via KVM (all automated). The ISO updates will fail
because libvirt chowns them.
I see no reason for this: libvirt only needs the ISO as input.
WORKAROUND:
edit /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf, change 'dynamic_ownership = 0', restart qemu/KVM.
