That's a nice set of improvements. My only new issues are:

1. For some reason kimchid didn't start on boot, systemd decided not to
load it. This may well be a problem on my machine, not a generic one,
but perhaps worth testing.

2. The dependency on qemu-system is fairly broad, unless kimchi actually
supports foreign architecture VMs then depending on the local version
per-arch would be nice.

With 1.4 websockify is now an external dependency so it's now a bug in
it (although fixed upstream, but there's not been a release, I've filed
debian bug #??? for this).

Per debian convention kimchi should get its own service, even if not
generically. My plan is to allow the use of external auth which solves
my case.

This is now merged for the next release.
