[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#1052405: libvirtd floods journal with unhelpful message

[Lee Garrett]

Package: libvirt-daemon
Version: 9.0.0-4
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian at rocketjump.eu

Hi,

when running a Windows 11 VM, and provisioning it via ansible, the journal is
getting flooded with > 50 messages per second:

Sep 21 15:31:29 batou libvirtd[402313]: Domain id=1 name='win11trial' uuid=4d871bc4-364f-47d7-a498-005bf10ee6d6 is tainted: custom-ga-command

A search on the upstream documentation does not explain what this means, and it
seems it was reported on various other sites (reddit, stackoverflow, etc.)
without an answer to it.

Would be nice to have documented what this means, if I need to take action, and
how to disable the warning if it turns out to not be harmful.
