** Description changed:

  A new major release of virt-manager has been released and is in debian
  unstable/testing.
  
  I'll go through all the Ubuntu changes to confirm what's still needed.
  
  Still to check:
    * Merge from Debian. Remaining changes: (LP: #1556671)
      - debian/control:
-         + Depend on gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1 for appindicator support.
          + Add lsb-release to Build-Depends so we can detect whether we're 
running on Ubuntu or Debian.
-         + Change Recommends to libvirt-bin instead of libvirt-daemon-system
-           which isn't available in Ubuntu
      - debian/rules:
          + Set qemu user to libvirt-qemu so appropriate permissions get set.
          + Set the preferred distro so we appear first in the list.
-         + Remove data/gschemas.compiled generated by clean.
-     - d/p/virtinst/9006_fix_path_to_qemu-dm.patch: drop the full path from
-       qemu-dm as already done for hvmloader and pygrub. The Xen tools will
-       handle this and add the missing path.
-  
+     - d/p/virtinst/9006_fix_path_to_qemu-dm.patch: drop the full path from 
qemu-dm as already done for hvmloader and pygrub. The Xen tools will handle 
this and add the missing path.
+     - d/p/add_qemu_binaries.patch: add the actual binary name from the qemu 
packages so default hypervisor detection works properly on first run.
  
-     - d/p/add_qemu_binaries.patch: add the actual binary name from the qemu
-       packages so default hypervisor detection works properly on first run.
+ In-progress investigation:
+         + Depend on gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1 for appindicator support. -  
AFAICT I have fine "systray" support in Lxde with the stock Debian package 
  
- Still needed on unity - no point in upstreaming at this point
-     - d/p/leave-mnemonics-alone-on-focus-change.patch: Leave
-       gtk-enable-mnemonics setting alone under Unity when windows change 
focus.
  
- Not upstream:
-     - d/p/more_helpful_error_message.patch: explain to the user why
-       connecting to qemu:///system failed and how to fix it.
- 
- Upstreaming:
- nothing currently
  
  Just landed upstream (not in 1.4.0 release):
      - d/p/use_qxl_for_ubuntu.patch: use qxl by default for Ubuntu VMs, it 
seems to work better than vmvga now.  Laneded -

  No Longer Needed
  * debian/patches/0001-details-Fix-screenshot-on-F24-rawhide-bz-1297988.patch:
      Cherry-pick from upstream. Fix screenshot capture with newer
      gdk-pixbuf/pygobject. (LP: #1571702) - Upstream
  
   Fix virt-install so that it can install 16.04 and newer images.
      Error message is 'Couldn't find hvm kernel for Ubuntu tree
      Closes (LP: #1634304) - urlfetcher_Fix_ubuntu_location.patch - upsteam
  
    * debian/patches/use_virtio_for_pseries_disks.patch: virtinst: Use
      virtio bus type for disks on pSeries machines. Closes LP: #1597610. 
Upstream
  
      - d/p/virtinst/dont_disable_vmport.patch: Don't disable vmport even
  if we're using spice, as this prevents having a seamless mouse when
  using Ubuntu as a guest.  - I have seamless mouse integration without
  this.
  
  Drop these patches:
  - d/p/mark-libvirt-lxc: Clearly mark the LXC connections as being
-       libvirt-lxc, to avoid confusion due to differing features and
-       configurations.
+       libvirt-lxc, to avoid confusion due to differing features and
+       configurations.
  *Not sure if still needed, doesn't understand what this is avoiding confusion 
for.  Leaning to not needed.
  
-  - d/p/prefer-qemu.patch: Prefer QEMU as the default URI, even if it's not 
installed.
+  - d/p/prefer-qemu.patch: Prefer QEMU as the default URI, even if it's not 
installed.
  * The defaults look fine to me, if someone is installing Xen I'm guessing 
they are likely to actually want it.
  
  - d/p/use_ubuntu_package_names.patch: Suggest installing the packages that 
are actually available in Ubuntu.
  * Most users don't actually want qemu-system, defaults are likely fine
+ 
+ - d/p/more_helpful_error_message.patch: explain to the user why
+       connecting to qemu:///system failed and how to fix it. Agree with 
comment #10.
+ 
+ - d/p/leave-mnemonics-alone-on-focus-change.patch: Leave
+       gtk-enable-mnemonics setting alone under Unity when windows change 
focus.  Still needed on unity - no point in upstreaming at this point, let's 
drop it.
+ 
+ No longer needed (points)
+ + Remove data/gschemas.compiled generated by clean. - Done in Debian 
virt-manager (1:1.3.2-4)
+ + Change Recommends to libvirt-bin instead of libvirt-daemon-system which 
isn't available in Ubuntu.  This package is in Ubuntu in 16.04+
