Per conversation in IRC [1], I'm recommending that we stick with libvirt 0.7.5 for Lucid, due to the incompatibility it introduces with hotplug of scsi disks (and the resulting regression it introduces in UEC/Eucalyptus for EBS volumes).
[1] http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/04/02/%23ubuntu-server.html#t15:33 Maverick will certainly introduce >= libvirt 0.7.7, which will force us to move to virtio disks for UEC/Eucalyptus (which will introduce a nice performance bump, and possibly a stability enhancement, but most importantly align us with upstream's recommended way of adding disks), and we'll have an entire release cycle to work our way through any issues that arise (rather than a mere 2 hectic weeks). Tremendous thanks to you, Jamie, for all the work you've done on Libvirt, helping the Ubuntu Server team out immensely in the Karmic and Lucid cycles!!!
