Actually this code will never be executed outside of libvirtd, because
it's executed as part of the QEMU state driver startup only.
Well, I wouldn't compare this to a "rogue shared library" or
LD_PRELOAD stuff, because you can use virsh capabilities for example
to see if it picks up unexpected QEMU binaries. So this shouldn't make
debugging harder. You need to know where to look for information when
debugging, that's right.
Also this make libvirt behave more like the user expects it to. There
were some people on the mailing list and on IRC lately that had
problems with the hardcoding of /usr/bin. They expected libvirt to
pick up their QEMU binaries in /usr/local/bin for example.
