Introduce the libvirt-daemon-plugin-lockd subpackage to provide the client-side lockd plugin for virtlockd.
The sanlock plugin also needs the directory %{_libdir}/libvirt/lock-driver, which it currently gets via the libvirt-daemon dependency. Duplicate the directory in the %files section of the sanlock plugin, allowing the libvirt-daemon dependency to be dropped.
I think it would be slightly neater if you introduced the new package with a dependency on libvirt-daemon and left the existing dependency in the sanlock package alone. Then, after introducing the libvirt-daemon-common package, you could replace those dependencies with the more lightweight ones at the same time as you're doing so for all other packages.
That patch starts with libvirt-daemon getting a dependency on libvirt-daemon-plugin-lockd :-). That dependency is needed to ensure we still get lockd.so when installing libvirt-daemon. What if I leave the directory in libvirt-daemon in this patch, then duplicate it and drop the libvirt-daemon dependency when renaming the sanlock package? Regards, Jim
