Our kvm packages are based on Debian's, so you'll find the same script there, I'm afraid.
Indeed, KVM is Ubuntu's recommended hypervisor, and the recommended way to use it is through libvirt. libvirt handles all the networking setup you should need for kvm. It's quite hard to provide a qemu style ifup script that will suit even a small subset of our users. That said, we should of course strive for something that works for as many people as possible and as seamlessly as possible. I agree that assuming people's default gateway is a bridge is currently not a very good assumption. On the other hand, I'm not terribly interested in spending a whole lot of time on writing an extensive script that will inspect your network configuration, set up a bridge if one does not yet exists, and hook up the kvm instance to that bridge, since we already have a very good solution in libvirt. All our virtualisation documentation says to use libvirt. If you've been misled by any documentation, I'd love to see it, so that it can be corrected.
