Hi again

answering my own post, I think I figured it out, as a missing dependency between
. libvirt-daemon-driver-network that provides 
/usr/share/libvirt/networks/default.xml
. and libvirt-daemon-config-network, shose post-install script actually uses this same file

So this means that libvirt-daemon-config-network should depend on libvirt-daemon-driver-network so that the latter gets installed first
and it seems like on our earlier setups this was working by accident

I’ll need to test this more thoroughly though — Thierry
