This looks like pure noise - AFAICT you could have left the requires
for polkit, dbus and shadow-utils exactly where they already were. Is
there a reason why you moved them?

The only reason is by mistake. Not sure how I missed that... Will fix in next version.

One more thing. After your changes, libvirt-daemon still has

   # netcat is needed on the server side so that clients that have
   # libvirt < 6.9.0 can connect, but newer versions will prefer
   # virt-ssh-helper. Making this a Recommends means that it gets
   # installed by default, but can still be removed if compatibility
   # with old clients is not required
   Recommends: /usr/bin/nc

I think this should be moved to libvirt-daemon-common too, since
modular daemons were introduced before virt-ssh-helper and so it's
possible that old clients might try to connect to a modularized
deployment, which will fail if nc is not available.

Hmm, shouldn't it be libvirt-daemon-proxy? Remote clients don't connect to the modular daemons directly, only through virtproxyd right?

Jim
