** Description changed:

- Periodically the autostart symlink for libvirt-bin's default network is
- recreated.  This is not expected or desired behavior.  I've manually
- removed the symlink repeatedly as I've created my own network
- definitions that I'd prefer were started instead.
+ ===================================================
+ SRU Justification:
+ 1. Impact: if admins disable the example default network, then each libvirt 
upgrade re-enables it
+ 2. Development fix: use a patch in debian to not install the default network 
auto-run symlink, and tweak postinst to create it (only) on a first install.
+ 3. Stable fix: same as development fix
+ 4. Test case:
+       a. sudo apt-get install libvirt-bin
+       b. sudo rm /etc/libvirt/qemu/network/defaults/autostart.xml
+       c. sudo apt-get install --reinstall libvirt-bin
+       d. ls -l /etc/libvirt/qemu/network/defaults/autostart.xml
+    After reinstall, autostart should not exist.
+ 5. Regression Potential: a mistake in the postinst script could cause 
installations and upgrades to fail.
