* Package name    : virt-v2v
  Version         : 1.42.0
  Upstream Author : Richard W.M. Jones, Red Hat Inc.

  Description     : Convert a guest from a foreign hypervisor to run on KVM

Virt-v2v converts a single guest from a foreign hypervisor to run on
KVM.  It can read Linux and Windows guests running on VMware, Xen,
Hyper-V and some other hypervisors, and convert them to KVM managed by
libvirt, OpenStack, oVirt, Red Hat Virtualisation (RHV) or several other
targets. It can modify the guest to make it bootable on KVM and install
virtio drivers so it will run quickly.

It was developed as part of libguestfs from 1.28 up to 1.41.7, and has
since been split into its own repository.[1][2][3]  It was shipped in
buster and it would be great to see it return to sid.

I whipped up a package for my own use.[4]  It is functional, but I'm
still following up on a few issues with upstream.  Deficiencies I'm
aware of are noted in debian/TODO.md.  Let me know if there's anything
else I can do to help.

Thanks,
Kevin

virt-v2v has been available in Debian since 2021-08-17:

   https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/virt-v2v

Looks like the libvirt team could use some assistance with it though,
there is one release-critical bug to solve in Debian bookworm,
otherwise it will get auto-removed on 2021-11-21 (this Sunday).
