Have a look at the kvm87 branch in git and the packages in the
pkg-libvirt repository:

These packages need more work until they can go into unstable though.
Jan, maybe we should push kvm88 into experimental although it's not
perfect yet so people can test it more easily?

I tried using the apt-sources found on your wiki-page ...
deb http://pkg-libvirt.alioth.debian.org/packages unstable/i386/
deb http://pkg-libvirt.alioth.debian.org/packages unstable/all/
deb-src http://pkg-libvirt.alioth.debian.org/packages unstable/source/
, ... and installed kvm from there with:
apt-get -t unstable -s install kvm
... Inst kvm [72+dfsg-5] (88+dfsg-1~2.gbp62322d pkg-libvirt.alioth.debian.org)
Starting an virtual XP with virt-manager results in an instant error:
Error starting domain: internal error unable to start guest: char device
redirected to /dev/pts/2
Could not load option rom 'extboot.bin'
Details:
raceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 493, in run_domain
vm.startup()
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 558, in startup
self.vm.create()
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 291, in create
if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: internal error unable to start guest: char device redirected to

Alas the developement version seems not to be an easy workaround for kvm
72+dfsg-5 from squeeze, thanks anyway, Guido.
So I removed kvm 88+dfsg-1~2.gbp62322d and installed kvm 72+dfsg-5 again. It is
reversible, XP starts again (with the buggy key-mapping)
kind regards
