The libvirt storage driver uses librbd.so for its functionality. RPM will automatically add a dependency on the library, so there is no need to have an explicit dependency on the ceph RPM itself. This allows newer Fedora distros to avoid pulling in the huge ceph RPM, in favour of just having the libraries installed
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
