Thanks, Avi.

We in Ubuntu have tracked each of the two previous RC's, and we will
have this GA version in Karmic within a day or so.  We're looking
forward to following the stable branch as opposed to the kvm-NN
snapshots we've traditionally tracked.

By the way, I maintain Debian kvm packages for quite some time
(because debian does not have up-to-date kvm), all are available
here -- http://www.corpit.ru/debian/tls/kvm/.  Anything wrong with
those, have you seen them?  Just... asking :)

Hmm, no, I haven't seen those.  I looked for Debian qemu-kvm packages
at:
 * http://packages.qa.debian.org/q/qemu-kvm.html
 * http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/welcome

Didn't find any, and so we decided to roll our own to ensure that we got
qemu-kvm into Karmic.
