Morten,
this issue had confused me also as I never had hardware that supports kvm. Reading your notes, if you do enable acceleration in virt-install (and does this also apply to launching it through virtual machine manager "new" virtual machine creation) and have kqemu built, just asking to confirm, qemu will then be executed without the -no-kqemu flag being added? If so, I may take a much more serious look at the vmm stuff, as I had been using qemu directly over what may be the same mistaken belief in this issue.
Loosly related (to be noted as a separate issue in the qemu package), on amd64, /usr/bin/qemu is sym-linked to qemu-system-i386, not qemu-system-x86_64. I am not sure if maybe this was needed for kvm (having never had the chance to use it :), but kqemu does require the arch to match.
Finally, it is worth noting that kqemu does have seem to have an additional option over kvm, -kernel-kqemu, and hence I presume there is no direct way to manipulate this currently through vmm driven qemu. This suggests maybe there is yet some need for some kqemu specific support action based on this bug report.
