I am guessing this is default setting in this mailing list.

On the topic, nice discussion going on, I have picked up a couple of
tips re usage of KVM.
I have not done any KVM on Debian but have a setup of a few machines
under virt-manager on Ubuntu 12.04 server edition. In that box I
have created a sudo rule for a group of users so that members can
manage VMs from virt-manager (and all it's associated lower level
tools). It is working out great!
Here is my /etc/sudoers.d/kvm file:
<file listing>
# User alias specification
User_Alias VIRT_USERS = user1, user2, user3
# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias VIRT_MGR = /usr/bin/kvm, /usr/bin/kvm-img,
/usr/bin/kvm-nbd, /usr/bin/kvm_stat, /usr/bin/qemu-ga,
/usr/bin/qemu-ifdown, /usr/bin/qemu-ifup, /usr/bin/qemu-img,
/usr/bin/qemu-io, /usr/bin/qemu-nbd, /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64,
/usr/bin/qemu-x86_64, /sbin/brctl, /usr/sbin/tunctl,
/usr/bin/virt-clone, /usr/bin/virt-convert, /usr/bin/virt-image,
/usr/bin/virt-install, /usr/bin/virt-manager,
/usr/bin/virt-pki-validate, /usr/bin/virt-xml-validate
# host alias specification
Host_Alias NETWORK = 172.16.0.0/255.255.255.0
# now define the virt manager and kvm command to users
VIRT_USERS NETWORK = VIRT_MGR
</file listing>
Keep in mind the above list is for the tool set in Ubuntu. The names
may be different in Debian.
HTH,
