Given your deadline, I would probably not hold out for an upstream
release and coordinate with the Debian developers to make sure a
3.2.0-based package that can be built against the latest libvirt
release is available in the archive instead. You can then decide to
rebase if the new virt-manager release materializes in time. But
that's just how *I* would personally handle the situation :)
