libvirt-daemon-system depends on policykit-1.
Should that not be on my (kvm) server either?
I don't need libvirt-daemon-system on my server. And I don't see
why it would be needed in general. If I understand correctly,
libvirt is used to manage VMs, but what is mostly exposed on the
Internet (e.g. as a web server) is the VM itself, which doesn't
need libvirt.
I guess it depends how you define a 'server'. I include the machine that
hosts my VMs. And I certainly don't restrict it to what's exposed on the
Internet.
I admit I haven't explored in depth exactly which bits of libvirt are
required on the VM host; I rely to some extent on the recommendations in
the packages.
Cheers,
Richard
