Deployment choices
==================
Client only install
-------------------
If an application is capable of using multiple different virtualization drivers
it is undesirable to force the installation of a specific set of drivers. In
this case the application will merely wish to request a client only install
Alternatively if an application is intended to communicate with a hypervisor on
a remote host there is no need to install drivers locally, only a client is
needed
The only required package is the `libvirt-libs`, however, it is useful to
also install `libvirt-client`.
Every possible virt driver
--------------------------
There is rarely a need to install every virt driver at once on a given host.
In the unlikely event that this is needed, however, the `libvirt` package
should be installed.
Note that this doesn't actually pull in the hypervisors, only the libvirt
