I remember that there was some sort of wired problem as i first tested kvm/libvirt on the machine; that it included /usr/bin/qemu-kvm and symlinking it to qemu-system-x86_64. I now linked qemu-kvm to /usr/bin/kvm from the package qemu-kvm and everything works. Libvirt-manager runs qemu-kvm, recognizes that this version supports boot=on and uses it in the options. The bug i think i face is one in the libivrt-manager (0.8.4-8) as it does not use /usr/bin/kvm but /usr/bin/qemu-kvm which does not exist. I also did an reinstall of all installed qemu/libvirt/kvm packages after removing the symlink to see if there is an e.g. postinst-script that would create such an symlink. There is not something like that, so [1] might be right ;).
