We'd e.g. still have /etc/default/libvirt-bin used to configure the
libvirtd service.  THe package will also still be named libvirt-bin so I
wonder if it wouldn't be more consistent to leave the service file as
and add a

Alias=libvirtd

so firewalld and others can reference it. I'm o.k. with renaming the
whole package from libvirt-bin -> libvirtd in the future including
unit files and init scripts but that's nothing I have time for atm.

Patches to achieve this (and especially testing) would be welcome.
Cheers,
