And I forgot to mention. This has been tested -- rather quickly, because the change is "small and obvious" and because its been applied upstream and on ubuntu and later on redhat -- on several guests with and without libvirt in order to verify the change does not add regressions and indeed fixes the problem. I did the testing at that time (at Aug-2010), and repeated some tests again now just to be sure (after rebuilding the package on current 6.0.3 version of squeeze).
