The libvirt testing job which makes use of that can be found at [1] (not yet merged). To ensure a repeatability of the job, the version of the additional package should be somehow controllable by the testing job itself (maybe by another env variable "version" or dedicated libs; "/devstack/lib/libvirt1.2.16-qemu1.2.3" instead of "/devstack/lib/libvirt" But that's a thing I'd like to do after the experimental testing job runs successfully with the current happy path.
