[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#1064126: libvirt: install NSS modules into /usr

[Andrea Bolognani]

Hi Michael,

thanks for the tentative patch.

The aim is indeed to reorganize the libvirt package further before
trixie, specifically to finally enable the modular daemons that have
been the upstream default for a while now. I haven't started this
work in earnest yet, but I'm planning to do so over the
spring/summer.

Additionally, we're generally trying to avoid changes that would get
in the way of (automated) backports to fairly old releases of Ubuntu.
The reorganization I've mentioned above might be the straw that
breaks the camel's back in that regard, but it's still something that
we try to accomodate as much as possible.

So what I'm wondering right now is, how much does libvirt shipping
these files outside of /usr for a while longer negatively impact the
overall transition plans? I'd be happy to get out of your way as soon
as possible, but at the same time I'm wary of potentially introducing
issues due to the unforeseen interactions between these changes.

Cheers.
