It's well known fact that packages starting from Qemu-kvm,Xen Hypervisor,Libvirt, Spice-Server and so on and finishing with the recent versions of seabios are just back ported from Debian Unstable Repos been originally built and tested @Debian by professional Debian developers. Then several ubuntu specific patches got applied to particular debian build and package goes to Main or Universe of new LTS or non-LTS Ubuntu release. I can remind that Qemu-kvm for Ubuntu Precise 12.04 LTS was built @Ubuntu with Spice producing black screen, by well known reason.
