Bug Description

After fresh install of 18.04, I went to install uvt-kvm.
A big slew of dependencies came... many from python2 stack.

it may well be not much more than this:
  http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VWVJhwpYm7/

to move to python3. but a quick sniff failed to build due to:

This probably needs:

- dh $@ --with python2

ack. a quick test gets that to actual python3 problems. ie, the build
change is correct, but upstream needs some changes. thanks.

From some experiments, it looks like Xenial's python3-libvirt may be problematic, old or need API changes. Trusty doesn't have the package. This may cause some issues with supporting older Ubuntu releases in the PPA, though it might be possible with dual compatible code and/or some smarter packaging or release process.

I intend to leave this for now, and look again next time.
