I'd see why this is reason. At best, I have the version from ubuntu
and the version I installed from git. $(which virt-install) is
installed from the latest package from git. This version of
virt-install needs /usr/share/virt-manager/virt-install, which is not
installed simultaneously. Shouldn't
/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-install be installed as well from the git
version?

Can there be an "uninstall" option added to setup.py, so that I can
easily uninstall the package.
