Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: python-vm-builder
In Jaunty, python-vm-builder depends on kvm. I believe this is because
vmbuilder requires some utilities that are shipped in the kvm package.
This seems a bit sub-optimal, as installing kvm bring its own set of
dependencies (such as bridge-utils and libx11-6) and install a service.
You do not needs these just to create VM image using vmbuilder.
A possible solution would be to break the kvm package in two, with the
generally useful bits that can be used in a stand-alone fashion in a
separate package named kvm-utils or something.
** Affects: vm-builder (Ubuntu)
