Comment:
Of course I'm not quite sure if the choice of the non-upstream package name `libguestfs-tools` is correct.  However, when trying to find out where did `virt-sysprep` (for example) has gone from `libguestfs`, it took a nontrivial amount of time to see that it's now in a package that's not yet shipping.  If void were to use the name established by the deb and rpm folks, it at least smooths the transition for people using documentation written with those distributions in mind.  Perhaps surprisingly, this includes the upstream web site, so I have a fair point that this is actually the upstream name:

https://libguestfs.org/
```
sudo yum install libguestfs-tools      # Fedora/RHEL/CentOS
sudo apt-get install libguestfs-tools  # Debian/Ubuntu
```

Furthermore, it should also make it easier to find it by `xbps-query -Rs libguestfs`.  Would any user think that they need to use `xbps-query -Rs guestfs` instead?  If these points still don't make sense over the upstream naming rule, I'd be happy to oblige, and change the name.
