This should help, but then you get the next problem: dh_installsystemd
parses the Also= lines, and generates deb-systemd-invoke for all referenced
units.

I think the Also= lines in libvirtd.service are superfluous and removing
them should avoid this problem.

I'm still not sure why we parse Also= for starting. Michael, do you
remember the rationale?
