Attaching a documentation patch for now. Should apply cleanly against
1.2.9-3~bpo70+1 Debian source. I took the liberty of reusing your name
in the NEWS file as I don't intend to disclose mine. I also transfer
an authorship of this patch and all appropriate rights to the Debian
Libvirt Maintainers.

+  From this version upon libvirtd uses PolicyKit to protect own sockets at
+  /var/run/libvirt by default. Reverting to the old behaviour (libvirtd's
+  sockets are protected by filesystem's permissions) requires editing of
+  /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf and overriding libvirtd.socket.
