In the old (feisty) package I found in kvm_16-1ubuntu2.diff:

--- kvm-16.orig/debian/kvm.udev
+++ kvm-16/debian/kvm.udev
@@ -0,0 +1 @@
+KERNEL=="kvm", NAME="%k", GROUP="kvm", MODE="0660"

That patche the orig. sources and inserts the udev rule file via .deb 
package. Indeed a nice apprioach, until now I wasnt aware that deb 
format supports udev rules natively.

I hope, this will be accepted again.

rgds,
Andreas
