Hi CTAC,
this package is kind of deprecated and not changed at all since Xenial.
I have taken a task to check in detail if this package shall get some bigger 
attention or if we actually want to remove it (better than being out in a 
semi-broken way).

For now I'd ask you if you think you could work with uvtool-libvirt which is 
much more used and maintained recently.
To get a zesty VM like in your case you'd do:
# get a daily build of the cloud image, you can choose others of course
uvt-simplestreams-libvirt --source http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/daily 
arch=amd64 label=daily release=zesty
# spawn a VM
uvt-kvm create zesty-test release=zesty arch=amd64 label=daily

It is faster due to the cloud image usage, and more similar to e.g. all
the cloud instances out there. Especially if you use it multiple times
it is very efficient (since usually the sync is the only slow part
depending on your connection).
