Split virsh command into its own package

[Jonathan Davies]

When we deploy MAAS, this is typically done in a VM.

Now, in order to be able to provision VMs with MAAS, virsh is needed.

Now, virsh is part of the libvirt-bin, which pulls in a ton of stuff which has no place in a minimum VM:

Start-Date: 2014-01-17 09:54:06
Commandline: apt-get install libvirt-bin
Install: dnsmasq-base:amd64 (2.59-4ubuntu0.1, automatic), libxenstore3.0:amd64 (4.1.5-0ubuntu0.12.04.2, automatic), libnetfilter-conntrack3:amd64 (0.9.1-1ubuntu1, automatic), libvirt0:amd64 (0.9.8-2ubuntu17.16, automatic), libnuma1:amd64 (2.0.8~rc3-1, automatic), libapparmor1:amd64 (2.7.102-0ubuntu3.9, automatic), libavahi-client3:amd64 (0.6.30-5ubuntu2.1, automatic), cgroup-lite:amd64 (1.1.5, automatic), libyajl1:amd64 (1.0.12-2, automatic), bridge-utils:amd64 (1.5-2ubuntu7, automatic), libvirt-bin:amd64 (0.9.8-2ubuntu17.16)
End-Date: 2014-01-17 09:54:11

It would be nice to have virsh in its own package for these kinds of deployments.

No, I dont think this is a good idea, this would make the packaging and more complicated than it has to be.
