I think it already is? (dpkg --status libvirt-bin says it is... but I've been changing things all over the place so I might have confused it)

I'll look into this, it would be nicer. There's already a libvirt-bin.init in the packaging though, so for now I just added a dependency on omit-kvm-vm-pids.

Thanks for the '##*/' explanation, google was not at all helpful with that particular search. :)

I made another change in addition to yours above. The /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d/ folder does not exist on my system, so I changed it to /var/run/sendsigs.omit.d/ as mentioned by this bug:

Also, are these changes based on Lucid packages? The Lucid machine I'm using for testing has a kernel panic on shutdown with the packages from my PPA installed.
