I disagree. uvtool-libvirt requires libvirtd to be running, and libvirt-
bin is expected to ship it running. If a user intervenes by stopping
libvirtd or otherwise disabling it, I think the user gets to keep the
pieces. Otherwise, what should uvtool-libvirt do gracefully that isn't
surprising to the user? The point of a postinst failure is to point out
to the user that the package won't work.

John, I think we may have some issue with libvirtd not running as a bug
in libvirt packaging. I've seen more than one occurrence of this, but
unfortunately we don't have a reliable reproducer.
