Package: libvirt-bin Severity: normal libvirt-bin currently includes both the libvirtd binary (and other binaries) and the init scripts to start a system instance of libvirtd. However, many applications using libvirt only need a per-user instance of libvirtd, not a system instance. For instance, gnome-boxes currently depends on libvirt-bin to get libvirtd, but it doesn't need the system instance. According to gnome-boxes upstream, "you can connect to remote instances, but the only thing that is sanely integrated in the UI is creating local VMs in a per-user libvirtd". (Anything else, including the system instance, requires hand-entering a libvirt URI.)
So, please split the init scripts for a system-wide libvirtd instance into a separate package from the binaries.
