[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#735198: virt-manager: cannot show disk in VM settings

[Matěj Šusta]

Hi,

whilist what Michal Suchanek wrote is true, this doesn't change the fact 
that this bug is still very annoying as the workaround is pretty long.
Default disk "Disk 1" is on my machine set to type "IDE" which means 
that I have to change that setting on all VMs I create. That said, if I 
can't use the "edit machine details before install" I have to click 
begin installation, force off the machine, delete the disk and add a new 
one with required settings...

This was reported in Red Hat bugzilla (and solved) under:
RH BZ#949411
RH BZ#978264

Ubuntu hit this (of course) too. There were some problems but it seems 
that there is a backport patch available on Launchpad: Ubuntu LP#1217524 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virt-manager/+bug/1217524)

I've checked the patch and if it really is the thing, it's really trivial.
I don't have any debian packaging experience so I'm not able to recheck 
it by myself now, but I can test this in a while, probably.
