netcf backport required for use with backported libvirt-bin (memory leak)
When virt-manager is connected to libvirtd from wheezy-backports, the
memory usage (both res and virt) of libvirtd on the server goes up by
about a megabyte a minute. It will keep going and eat several gigabytes
of RAM if left alone. Disconnecting virt-manager stops the memory usage
from increasing, but does not lower it back to an acceptable level.
The bug seems to be identical to the one described here, which is
resolved by using a newer version of netcf with libvirtd:

The libvirtd distributed with wheezy does not have this issue. I'm
assuming it does not make that particular call to libnetcf.
