Patch is fine IMO, the kvm_packages vs libvirt_packages split is from a time
before the libvirt-daemon-kvm convenience package. Just tracking
libvirt-daemon-kvm simplifies our life, so ACK.

Other distros may still want this split, since the libvirt_packages will
trigger additional behavior to try and startup libvirtd. Dunno if other
distros are even using it though... debian/ubuntu probably solve this with
suggests/recommends dependencies
