qemu-kvm not required by cloudstack-agent rpm package?

So I just installed a new 4.1.0 instance and found that qemu-kvm isn't
installed when the agent is. Is this by design or did we accidentally
omit this? Unless someone tells me otherwise, I will plan on fixing
this prior to 4.1.1

However, in 4.2, we have the situation with LXC now entering the fold,
that we could install the agent but not need qemu-kvm. How should we
handle this? meta packages? (cloudstack-kvm and cloudstack-lxc)

Seems reasonable to me!

Any takers to do (1) RPMs, (2) DEBs, (3) Doc updates?

Checked the Deb packages, but those are fine.

Yes, I think a meta package would be the way to go here.

I'd say:
- cloudstack-agent-kvm
- cloudstack-agent-lxc
- cloudstack-agent (which has all the agent code in it)
