Hmm, looks like a distro specific bug: the offending code has never been
upstream. It sounds like it is fixed in debian though, so not sure why
you are still hitting it. If you are using ubuntu, I'd file a bug with them.

In the meantime, the fix should be as simple as running:

sudo sed -i -e "s/options.os_variant/options.distro_variant/g"
/usr/bin/virt-install
