Since this needs new domain XML we should do this upstream to not create
a incompatible domain format. In case you want to help filing an
upstream bug would already help:

Tools=libvirt

I understand.
I thaught it needed to be done that way.
Are you able to add it in the Debian package, or does it need to be implemented 
upstream?
If you could make a Debian fix, it would be nice to see it in Stretch, if 
possible.

Supporting brltty would be great but we must not add hacks for that. It
needs to be added as a device to libvirt and can then be exposed to
virt-manager/virtinst which can then auto add it if the host has brltty.
