You're right, that's backward. I've uploaded a new version (0.8.3-3)
that also fixes two more bugs:

libvirt (0.8.3-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * [178670a] Add $syslog to the list of Required-{Start,Stop} services also
    drop $local_fs since we already have $remote_fs
  * [4db7451] Don't hardcode netcat's -q option. (Closes: #573172) - thanks to
    Marc Deslauriers for the patch
  * [d4c46ee] Disable CHECKSUM rules not supported by Squeeze's iptables
    (Closes: #598330)
  * [dbc2609] Move new NEWS items to the top

#573172 really is a blocker for people connectiong to non Debian
machines and #598330 confuses users thinking that might be the source of
a problem they're seeing. I'd be great if this could go into Squeeze. 
Cheers,
