Whenever libvirt is upgraded on a Debian system, the user will be
prompted along the lines of
Configuration file '/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml'
==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** default.xml (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? d

The UUID situation should probably be handled the same way it is
in the spec file by stripping it, and in general we could behave
much better towards users, but one part of the diff that
immediately stands out is that some lines are highlighted not
because they are semantically different, but simply because they
use different types of quotes around attributes.
Since the canonical version of all libvirt XML documents (as
returned by the various vir*GetXMLDesc() APIs) as well as the
on-disk representations use single quotes, let's use the same
for configuration files we install as well.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:
