Starting from version 1:5.0.0-2, the virt-manager source in Debian renames the virtinst binary package to virt-install, adding the old package as transitional dummy package.

Hence, tweak the Debian packaging to try to pull the new virt-install first, falling back to the old virtinst.

There is no behaviour change on older Debian & Debian-based versions, and in newer versions it makes it possible to uninstall the transitional virtinst.
