Great work - thanks a lot for the Debian and Ubuntu packages!

Just one little thing:
Can you add python-apt to the dependency list (it's missing in the
Debian Wheezy package - didn't test the Ubuntu packages but maybe it's
missing there, too)?

If python-apt isn't installed it's not possible to fetch installed
packages:

MainThread::INFO::2013-09-16
15:23:22,977::ovirt-guest-agent::37::root::Starting oVirt guest agent
MainThread::INFO::2013-09-16
15:23:23,015::GuestAgentLinux2::101::root::Unknown package management.
Application list report is disable

GuestAgentLinux2.py requires this python module to get the package
information.

All other features like system shutdown, nic information, memory,... are
working fine.

René
