Debian or Ubuntu?
Libvirt with or without apt recommend.
Please don't just say "kvm". I've tried installing different

Why saying so if you know the answer.
A list of packages for the "apt install" command to install a really
minimal hypervisor would be very much appreciated.
You need to figure that out on your own, the Debian wiki comes to mind
though.
I'm not really
afraid of writing a couple of text or YAML configuration files to
describe VMs if it helps me avoid the GUI configuration.
Look at Puppet or Ansible to provision your infrastructure.
What you want is definitely possible in Debian (headless host and guest).
