So, it would appear as if kvm-qemu-img is intended as a lightweight replacement for the full qemu package where all the functionality of the latter is not required. However, as I wish to use virt-manager clearly the full qemu package is required.
No, it's not a replacement, it's a utility for handling image files, eg. create and convert harddisk images for QEMU/KVM.
If you just install kvm libvirt virt-manager
and all their dependencies, then you should be fine.
