Thanks, Ryan. Indeed - there were several problems affecting /dev/kvm after a fresh install, and while raring got all the fixes, precise and quantal did not get one (presumably because I did not think they were affected).
We will need to do the following in both precise and quantal: 1. add acl to qemu-kvm's Depends: 2. add if [ -c /dev/kvm -a ! -L /dev/kvm ] then /usr/bin/setfacl -m g::rw /dev/kvm fi to debian/qemu-kvm.postinst above the udevadm trigger This will need to be done after the current qemu-kvm is promoted from -proposed. I'll make a note to check back in a week.
