Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.9.12-6~bpo60+1
Severity: normal
Usertags: debian-packaging

Hi there,

I just discovered the following in libvirt's log:

=====

First, the CHECKSUM problem is an old one (see #598330): while this is
simply a warning, IMHO it should be fixed in the backports as well.

Second, since pm-is-supported is shipped by pm-utils, libvirt-bin should
at least Recommends: pm-utils.  Please note, however, that pm-utils
ships more than utilities (e.g. suspend/resume quirks and so on), which
means that IMHO it is not suited for a server installation as it is.
Something like powermgmt-base would be better.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
