[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#979649: libvirt-guests.sh shouldn't whine about not being used

Package: libvirt-daemon
Version: 6.9.0-1+b2
Severity: normal

The libvirt-guests.sh script outputs the text 

  "libvirt-guests is configured not to start any guests on boot"

on every system boot if ON_BOOT is set to anything other than "start".

This is confusing to inexperienced systems admins who think it means 
something is wrong, and serves no useful purpose.  It is, at best annoying
to an experienced systems admin who has made the choice to not use this
script.  

Please either remove this output entirely, or provide some additional 
mechanism in the /etc/default/libvirt-guests file to shut it up!
