However, if I understand right, lucid's qemu *does* support 'boot=on' since it is qemu-kvm. The libvirt source has changed a great deal since the version in lucid, and would need to be re-written. Finally, as lucid is LTS, I'd be afraid of doing this in a way that would change behavior for some existing users.
Please feel free to attach a patch and rationale that there is no chance of regression (to change my or someone else mind), but given that this is for use with a non-standard qemu, I'm going to mark this wontfix.
Is there something in particular you need from that version of qemu? If there's a bug perhaps we can fix that in the qemu-kvm package?
It should also be possible for you to use a backport of maverick's libvirt to natty.
Thanks for taking the time to submit this bug.
