[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#774329: libvirt-bin: Doesn't gracefully shutdown guests on upgrade restart

Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 1.2.9-7
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

If libvirt-bin has an upgrade requiring a restart it restarts and kills currently
active guests without first gracefully shutting them down.  This can result in data
loss due to damaged filesystems (hence the grave report).  This also happens with no
warning so there is no opportunity to manually shutdown the clients.
