At some point, the _qemu-kvm_ package became a meta-package that
installs _everything_ QEMU-related. All drivers, backends, frontends,
etc. get pulled in, which results in a huge amount of wasted space.
Recently, the VM hosts started getting alerts about their `/` filesystem
getting too full, which is how I discovered this.
We can dramatically reduce the disk space footprint by installing only
the "core" package and the drivers we need for our servers.
After making and applying this change, which marks the listed packages
as "leaf" installs, I then manually uninstalled the _qemu-kvm_ package.
This uninstalled everything else that is not specifically listed.
