I concur that the spec file uses that the way it is written.  What I
wonder is *IF* one wants to use ceph specifically, then are libvirt
packages built against librados2-devel and librbd1-devel going to work
then as well?

I do concur that it seems in the beta for rhel-7.2 this all gets
resolved for 7.2.  Since that should be happening soon(ish) .. based on
previous release history, we should wait and see exactly what is in 7.2
when released.

We also need to test that with ceph community packages to see if rbd
built that way actually works with ceph as well.
