Just to make it clear.  I don't think it is a bug in libvirt (-bin or -guests)
per se, to me it looks more like libvirt-bin service has been disabled
manually (like, removing /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin) while other service
(libvirt-guests) depends on it, hence insserv complains when installing
an unrelated package, because current system-wide set of services can
not be started due to a missing dependency.

But this has obviously nothing to do with qemu, -- qemu tries to install
its init.d script which fails because of other services.

Thanks,
