Public bug reported:

While libvirt can be backported to natty without changes in order to
backport to maverick or lucid requires some minor changes.  It would be
nice, given how often this package has been updated, to make a no change
backport possible, especially for lucid.  I have not prepared a debdiff
because in my backports I usually simple disable macvtap support as I do
not need it however for a proper solution macvtap support should be
detected and set in the rules file accordingly.  Here are the other
changes, from my notes:

* control build depends - change cdbs version
* control build depends - change python-dev version
* control build depends - add python-support
* control X-Python-Version from 2.7 to current
* rules add DEB_PYTHON_SYSTEM = pysupport
* rules macvtap support (as mentioned above)
