That would mean moving

    /usr/lib/libvirt/storage-backend/libvirt_storage_backend_gluster.so

to a separate package. Makes sense. And while at that we can move

    /usr/lib/libvirt/storage-backend/libvirt_storage_backend_rbd.so
    /usr/lib/libvirt/storage-backend/libvirt_storage_backend_iscsi.so
    /usr/lib/libvirt/storage-backend/libvirt_storage_backend_sheepdog.so
    /usr/lib/libvirt/storage-backend/libvirt_storage_backend_mpath.so
    /usr/lib/libvirt/storage-backend/libvirt_storage_backend_zfs.so

too so we can move the suggests and recommends of these packages to dependencies.
Cheers,
