To be completely honest, I only really care insomuch as it prevents libvirt from migrating to testing O:-) > feel free to NMU and push changes to salsa!

There is ample precendent for packages that use libvirt or are somewhat related to it being maintained there: libosinfo, hivex and rhsrvany are examples. That said, I cannot in good conscience commit to spending any of my own time on it. I'm not familiar at all with the tool, and taking care of libvirt itself already consumes pretty much all the time I can dedicate to Debian. -- Andrea Bolognani <[email protected]> Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected.
