Solaris policy is not to introduce plumbing into the user's PATH.
virt-console is undocumented and there is no advantage to running it
directly. If it were in PATH we would have to document it, and we have
no intention of doing that...
This is the same as the Fedora policy too. If users aren't meant to
use virt-console directly then it should be in libexec as you say.

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into Xen guests.
