So libvirt-client would contain not only virsh (and other .so files) but
virt-admin binary too? Okay, if that's what we want my patch is useless.
If we, however, want a separate package for libvirt-admin (which is kind
of special compared to libvirt-qemu.so and libvirt-lxc.so), then I guess
we need this patch.
