Any reason you went with 1.0.5 instead of the just-released 1.1.1?

This defaults into installing things into /usr/local, which does not
match the paths your distro normally uses.  Your problems may stem from
the fact that because you didn't install it into distro locations, your
distro is unable to run libvirtd as a service.  If you run './autogen.sh
--system', that helps prepopulate the configure options such as --bindir
that are more likely to match your distro layout (I know for sure that
./autogen.sh --system matches Fedora layout, but don't know if
Debian-based layout differs, although no one has written a patch
complaining otherwise).
