libvirt has a modularized packaging split. libvirt-daemon-driver-storage
pulls in every possible storage driver + lib that libvirt can use. Or
you can install libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-XXX individual sub
packages to get only the bits your app will use.

gnome-boxes which is in the default workstation package set has a dep on
libvirt-daemon-kvm which is itself a metapackage which pulls in
libvirt-daemon-driver-storage. gnome-boxes dep could be made more
granular, it uses libvirt storage APIs but I think only
libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-file
