***Be aware: I don't speak on behalf of VDE team, this is only my personal opinions as kvm user.***
A lot of users need this feature. My projects (see virtualbricks here on lp) are affected by this bug and the only thing I can do is suggest users to install another distribution.
I still see nothing moving on Ubuntu side for this bug. AFAIK "Natty" is still affected.
The known workarounds by now are:
- Compile kvm yourself and enable libvdeplug support
- Switch to a (less blind) distribution. Debian for instance.
Sorry, the average user doesn't care about your universe vs. main repository issues and you are not yet able to provide a solution that makes sense.
If you can't just promote libvdeplug to main, then place qemu-kvm in universe as well. I don't care, but this is becoming ridiculous.
