We've reached a point in lcitool where we can't steer its development
based solely on libvirt's needs IOW there will be times where a local
override of value (e.g. package mapping) will be necessary - an example
of this would be QEMU.
In case of this particular patch we need to add an override for the
cirrus FreeBSD 13 image we request in our CI to fix:
/usr/local/lib/libtasn1.so.6: Undefined symbol "strverscmp@FBSD_1.7"
The reason why we can't/should not make the fix in upstream lcitool
just yet is that we store a libosinfo ID in lcitool's OS target YAML
configs and at the time of writing this patch libosinfo does not have
a corresponding entry/ID for FreeBSD 13.2 so we have to stick with 13.1
in lcitool until they do so.
For the time being, the fix can easily be done on libvirt side as does
this patch.

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.
