This problem is caused by the fix for #469666. I'm still investigating
on how to solve this regression.

It is possible to use 'qcow2' instead of 'qcow'. Current 'qcow' images
can be converted using kvm-img. I'll lower the severity to important, as
it does not render the package unusable.

When a good fix for CVE-2009-0928 is available, 'qcow' should work
again.

Closes: 470664 481989
Changes: 
 kvm (69+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Jan Lübbe ]
   * New upstream releases (closes: #481989)
     - Fixes CVE-2007-1320 (Cirrus LGD-54XX "bitblt" heap overflow)
     - Fixes CVE-2008-2004 (format guessing vulnerability, drop the patch)
     - Update debian patches
   * Update upstream changelog
   * Update Vcs-* headers to git.debian.org
   * Drop kvm-data again, build and ship only those files relevant to the
     target arch
 .
   [ Soren Hansen ]
   * 03_bios_no_ssp.patch:
     - Pass -fno-stack-protector to gcc when building the bios image.
   * qemu_vnc_ext_key_event.diff:
     - Implement the Extended KeyEvent extension in kvm's embedded VNC server.
   * Add kvm init script that loads the appropriate kernel modules.
   * Update package description
     - We no longer support cpu emulation, so hardware support is required.
     - The standard kernel images provide the kernel modules, so compiling
       them yourself from kvm-source is now optional.
     - qemu is no longer needed for creating disk images, since we have kvm-img
       now.
   * Move kvm-source from "Recommends:" of kvm to "Suggests:", since the
     modules are in the standard kernel images.
   * Update CVE-2008-0928.patch to allow any bdrv request if vm is not
     running. This fixes the savevm monitor command.
     - This also fixes booting with qcow2 images (closes: #470664)
