Looking at the libvirt 'control' file.

In Ubuntu:

libvirt-bin
This package contains the supporting binaries to use with libvirt.

In Debian:

libvirt-bin
This is a transitional package. You can safely remove it.

libvirt-clients
This package contains the libvirt shell virsh and other client binaries.

libvirt-daemon
This package contains the libvirt-daemon.

libvirt-daemon-system
This package contains the configuration files to run the libvirt
daemon as a system service.

Debian's split libvirt-bin into three packages since v1.2.9.

Ubuntu might not want to do so since 15.04 has v1.2.12 and doesn't
have this split but it has a packaging mistake because of the
following:

# aptitude search -F%p '?recommends(libvirt-daemon)'
virt-manager

# aptitude search -F%p '?recommends(libvirt-daemon-system)'
virt-manager
