It's part of the kvm package in Lenny (kvm-60) and Sid (kvm-69). Sorry,
it's installed under /usr/bin, not /usr/sbin. Here's the output
of --help:
# /usr/bin/kvmctl --help
Usage: /usr/bin/kvmctl [OPTIONS] [bootstrap] flatfile
KVM test harness.
-s, --smp=NUM create a VM with NUM virtual CPUs
-p, --protected-mode start VM in protected mode
-m, --memory=NUM[GMKB] allocate NUM memory for virtual machine. A
suffix
can be used to change the unit (default: `M')
-h, --help display this help screen and exit

Considering this is a test harness and not a control program, perhaps it
should be renamed in the kvm sources/builds, to something more
appropriate like kvmtest.

I'd prefer to keep the management/control scripts/apps named kvmctl, as
that's easier to remember and fits with things like sysctl, apachectl,
brctl, and other similar apps.
