rpmlint is dumb. If we turn it off by default, then we'll just get a
steady stream of bugs / confused users, who install libvirt RPM (or
the "Virtualization Group" in installer), reboot and find it is not
working because the daemon wasn't started. This would be a disservice
to our users, which I don't think we should do
Maybe you (or I) misunderstand the change to libvirtd.init.in.
Supposedly this change should keep it on by default, AND silence
rpmlint as well.
