I just got it by this bug as well and IMHO the current solution
(upgrading to the versions in experimental) is not fine: virt-viewer in
sid is still broken and, after having visited the bug report, there is
no ETA for a fixed version in sid.

BTW, I know I am complaining without helping, but I am currently lacking
time for my work as well :-(

On a side note, the debian/changelog is a bit empty WRT the reasons for
new uploads since 0.5.4-1 (and #684725 has not marked as fixed), which
means that apt-listchanges for virt-viewer is useless:
