New features in the libvirt driver which depend on minimum versions of 
libvirt/qemu/libguestfs (or arch for that matter) are always 
conditional, so I think it's reasonable to go with the lower bound for 
Debian. We can still support the features for the newer versions if 
you're running a system with those versions, but not penalize people 
with slightly older versions if not.
