I'm also running this through Jenkins on libvirt commits. I'm currently running against SLES11 SP3, SLES12 (beta), and openSUSE 13.1. In the case of SLES11, I don't have guestfs at all, so this change will be a problem there. On the other hand, the move to virt-builder is likely worth it. In my case, I will likely just create a local fork of libvirt-tck before this commit that I use specifically for SLES11 testing. Another option is to continue to use pre-built images (although I'd have to hide the libguestfs requirement).
