Good point, although it shows a flaw in what I already wrote since the same 
functionality is NOT provided. I've incorporated your words and changed the 
commit message to:

   Remove the libvirt-daemon dependency from the various
   libvirt-daemon-<hypervisor> subpackages, replacing it with a set of the
   new sub subpackages providing similar functionality.

   One notable change is storage locking support is no longer included by
   default. The libvirt-daemon-lock and libvirt-daemon-plugin-lockd
   subpackages must be installed separately. This is consistent with the
   existing requirement to manually enable storage locking after installation.

Regards,
Jim
