If you look at the next stable Ubuntu release "disco" (<https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/disco/libguestfs>), you'll be directed to <https://salsa.debian.org/libvirt-team/libguestfs>. Here's a bit of unsolicited advice regarding a possible patch: You'll need to add a mechanism to make kernel images readable. This means doing more than a "chmod 644 /boot/vmlinuz*" at libguestfs0 post-installation time because any kernel image installed after the libguestfs0 package would not be affected. Instead of chmod, please use dpkg-statoverride(1). Using a dpkg-trigger(1) that fires on kernel installation or removal seems like a good idea. Also you should add code to ask users whether they want this mechanism to be activated, using debconf(1). After all, read-only kernel images are percieved as a security measure by the Ubuntu project.
