While doing a bit of work on the new machine, I did a quick search using both of those terms in Synaptic Package Manager,  also updating a couple of files and installing one other package. These searches each returned a nonntrivial list of packages,  but none of them was named kvm or qemu,  so I must be missing something here.  Can any of you guys help me out?  I'm not averse to other tools,  like apt,  etc. if that's preferable...

I tend to use virt-manager as a nice GUI front end to these: it should pull
in some python and GUI libraries, virsh, libvirt and kvm.

Hope this helps,
