Bug Description
=======
SRU Justification:
1. Impact: if admins disable the example default network, then each libvirt upgrade re-enables it
2. Development fix: use a patch in debian to not install the default network auto-run symlink, and tweak postinst to create it (only) on a first install.
3. Stable fix: same as development fix
4. Test case:
a. sudo apt-get install libvirt-bin
b. sudo rm /etc/libvirt/
c. sudo apt-get install --reinstall libvirt-bin
d. ls -l /etc/libvirt/
After reinstall, autostart should not exist.
5. Regression Potential: a mistake in the postinst script could cause installations and upgrades to fail.
=======
Periodically the autostart symlink for libvirt-bin's default network is recreated. This is not expected or desired behavior. I've manually removed the symlink repeatedly as I've created my own network definitions that I'd prefer were started instead.
