Hi,
this small series fixes the generation of Debian-based images using
virt-p2v-make-disk. With this series, the image can boot fine, X is
started, and the p2v interface appears. I haven't tried an actual
conversion, but I don't think there are Debian-specific problems
preventing that.
Thanks,

New subject: [PATCH 1/4] p2v: fix Gtk dependencies on Debian
On Debian, the names of the packages containing the Gtk 2 and 3
libraries have different patterns, and thus just the name will not work
for Gtk 3.
Apply a bit of m4 to use a different package name on Gtk 2 and other
versions. It can be easily adapted to new models in future Gtk 4+,
should the naming pattern change from Gtk 3.

New subject: [PATCH 2/4] p2v: remove network-manager-applet Debian dependency
On Debian, network-manager-gnome contains nm-applet, which is what
launch-virt-p2v spawns. network-manager-gnome is already in the list of
packages for Debian, while network-manager-applet does not exist.

New subject: [PATCH 3/4] p2v: virt-p2v-make-disk: fix systemd paths
Usually systemd is configured with prefix=/, so units are in
/lib/systemd. On a system with UsrMove, such as Fedora/RHEL7, /lib is
a symlink to /usr/lib, so both /lib/systemd and /usr/lib/systemd work;
OTOH, on non-UsrMove systems, such as Debian, the two paths are
different locations, and thus trying to edit system files as
/usr/lib/systemd/etc will fail.
As solution, just reference /lib/systemd for systemd files.

New subject: [PATCH 4/4] p2v: virt-p2v-make-disk: prevent daemons to run on Debian
On Debian systems, usually daemons are run automatically after their
installations; since we are upgrading the template, and installing
packages such as openssh, network-manager, etc, this may cause few
daemon to stay running during the virt-builder execution, causing it to
fail when shutting down (since e.g. /sysroot/dev would be in use).
As workaround, use a temporary policy-rc.d policy layer [1]: give an
error code so no daemon is ever started at any point of package upgrades
and installation. The script is removed at the very end of the
building, so the final image will spawn daemons just fine when booted.
