Note that I haven't actually tested this commit alone on top of 0.15.

But I already commented on this - there's no good reason - imho anyway -
to fix that for 0.15.  I'll try to push 1.0 to debian asap (waiting
for libvirt to catch up) to close this issue there, other distros
should hurry up too ;)

Thanks!
