The last command should have returned you the proper package name,
qemu-system. :) And as Rahul said, kvm is part of the kernel. What you
get from the package are the qemu tools to make use of the kvm module
in the kernel. A small note, you need to be root to start using the
kvm module. Once that is done, any user on the system can use the vm.
