Unless distros add their own release number to the version information
and libvirt learns about the features they add.
I think that's the sanest approach. Just because a distro backports a
feature doesn't mean that it behaves like the upstream version. libvirt
really needs to treat distro packages as separate entities from upstream
IMHO.
