Definitely not a couple of years or releases! My aim is to make
modular daemons available in trixie.

Right there with you. I just don't want to rush things, especially
since AFAIK some really problematic scenarios can be triggered when
paths are canonicalized at the same time as they are moved across
binary packages.

Going forward, I will focus all the time I can spend on Debian on
reorganizing the libvirt package to enable modular daemons. I hope to
have at least a rough implementation ready within a few weeks.
