That being the case, not having jansson as mandatory sounds like the
proper thing to do, at least from the theoretical point of view: even
if you build without it, you can still get *some* functionality out
of libvirt, so it's kinda hard to argue for it being a strict
requirement the same way something like libxml2 is.
