When started with the initscript, that's the content of
the /var/run/libvirt directory (after enabling the default network)

bigon at soldur:/var/run/libvirt$ tree
.
|-- libvirt-sock
|-- libvirt-sock-ro
|-- network
|   `-- default.pid
|-- qemu
`-- uml-guest

3 directories, 3 files

The network directory is probably created when I've started the network
(default network is not autostart). Notice that there is no
nwfilter.leases file. After restarting libvirt daemon, the file is
present.

I think that libvirt is only creating the network/ directory when
starting a network, but not before creating the nwfilter.leases file.

I guess this should be addressed upstream.
