[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#529282: libvirt: questionable build-dep on open-iscsi

[Paul Collins]

Package: libvirt
Version: 0.6.3-2

This package checks for iscsiadm at build-time, but makes no attempt to
ensure it is available at runtime.  This seems backwards to me, and with
open-iscsi being currently uninstallable on vanilla systems (#529280)
right now it is challenging to rebuild libvirt oneself.

Please consider removing open-iscsi from the build-dependencies,
modifying the configure script to skip the check for iscsiadm, and
adding "Suggests: open-iscsi" on the libvirt-bin package.
