Ah, I missed that.  I didn't go through the details of the final message
because the "wontfix" tag is still there, so I assumed it still applied.

However, even after installing qemu-block-extra and restarting libvirtd,
it's still a no-go:

~$ sudo apt-get install qemu-block-extra
<snip>
~$ sudo systemctl restart libvirtd
~$ cat gluster.xml 
<pool type="gluster">
  <name>gluster-test</name>
  <source>
    <name>palantir</name>
    <host name='gandalf.xxx.xxx'/>
    <dir path='/'/>
  </source>
</pool>
~$ virsh pool-define gluster.xml 
error: Failed to define pool from gluster.xml
error: internal error: missing backend for pool type 10 (gluster)

This is on a fully up-to-date stretch install (qemu 1:2.8+dfsg-6, libvirt 
3.0.0-4, gluster 3.8.8-1).
