Please open a bug against product "ovirt-distribution". Thanks.

Please also note that qemu, and specifically qemu-kvm-ev, is not an
oVirt project. There is a jenkins job [1][2][3] downloading the SRPM
from redhat.com and building it with minimal re-branding.

In the past, oVirt relied on the qemu package shipped as part of the
OS - CentOS or Fedora. See e.g. [4].

Best,
