Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.8.3-1
Severity: normal
The default /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf has the following lines:
# The user ID for QEMU processes run by the system instance
#user = "root"
# The group ID for QEMU processes run by the system instance
#group = "root"
That they are commented out implies that they contain the default values.
The default values are actually
user = "libvirt-qemu"
group = "kvm"
(actual defaults gleaned from the debian/rules file:
DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS := \
--disable-rpath \
--with-qemu \
--with-qemu-user=libvirt-qemu \
--with-qemu-group=kvm \
)
The configuration file should have the actual defaults commented out.

Package: libvirt

This has been addressed upstream with
commit 64a7b8203bfc506a3902517155438b8c1c3106e6

qemu: Use real defaults for user and group in qemu.conf
The default values used by the library are determined at configure
time based on a number of factors, and we should reflect them in
the installed configuration file to make the comments it contains
more useful.

For the Debian package specifically:
$ sudo grep -E '#(user|group)' /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
#user = "libvirt-qemu"
#group = "libvirt-qemu"
Closing.
