Bug Description
libvirt is compiled with VirtualBox support turned off by default in Ubuntu. I grabbed the source with apt-get source libvirt and:
adam@adam-
/home/adam/
adam@adam-
--without-vbox \
Because of this the only way to use libvirt and virsh with VirtualBox is to roll your own libvirt. Libvirt has had support for VirtualBox for a long time. It would probably good to remove --without-vbox from the package configuration.

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. This is probably very difficult to do due to the fact that Virtual Box is in universe and libvirt is in main. All packages in main need to have their dependencies in main as well.
