They depend on a bunch of packages which say "not going to be
installed".

Definitely. Alternatively, your package management keeps you at old
xserver-xorg-core version that conflicts with available qxl driver.
Agents are completely unrelated to this issue, both xorg core and qxl
driver are part of Ubuntu repos.
No. The point is that installing the agent requires us to configure a
special repository which holds the ovirt-guest-agent package. That
repository could well hold packages which conflict with the versions
required in the latest ubuntu repos.
