Bug Description
#215962 was shortsighted in its approach. Libvirt has a 'remote' and 'test' URI capability and could be installed on other virtual machines with a view to managing Hypervisors one step away - or for setting up test environments. At the moment the 'Recommends' on both lvm and qemu-kvm means that apt will try and install those packages on Virtual machines - causing breakages and failed daemon starts.
The Recommends on qemu-kvm and lvm should be downgraded to Suggests, or the packages should be broken out so that there is a libvirt for 'remote' and 'test' URI setups that can be installed on VMs, and one for 'physical' installations on machines that need a local hypervisor.
Additionally 'qemu-kvm' isn't required on physical machines using the Xen hypervisor.
