Debugged with Guiseppe and found more breadcrumbs.
We might have found a pointer that shows what is broken.
As I assumed it is binaries of the same source being treated differently.
Look at these:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jammy/ppc64el/libvirt-daemon-config-network - currently 60% phasing for 8.0.0-1ubuntu7.14
vs that
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jammy/ppc64el/libvirt-daemon - phasing done for 8.0.0-1ubuntu7.14
While the overall https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/phased-updates.html tells us that this should be over.
I can only assume is that phasing update for this has gone wrong.
Same on s390x
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jammy/s390x/libvirt-daemon
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jammy/s390x/libvirt-daemon-config-network
60% vs fully phased.
With that understood I confirm the same on s390x.
We recreated the same in fresh LXD containers - repro is as easy as lxc launch, apt update and look at it. But since launchpad confirms we are over that and need to set phaseing to 100 guess?

Title:
Unmet dependency libvirt-daemon-config-network for nova-compute-
libvirt in ppc64el
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
New
Status in libvirt package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in nova package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When running a dist-upgrade on a ppc64el hypervisor running
jammy/caracal I ended up with nova-compute being removed.
Looks like there is an unmet dependency with libvirt-daemon-config-
network, if I try to reinstall nova I get
```
# apt install nova-compute nova-compute-kvm nova-compute-libvirt

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libvirt-daemon-system : Depends: libvirt-daemon-config-network (= 8.0.0-1ubuntu7.14) but 8.0.0-1ubuntu7.11 is to be installed
Recommends: dmidecode but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
```
Looks like libvirt ppc64el is at 8.0.0-1ubuntu7.14 but that libvirt-
daemon-config-network is behind at 8.0.0-1ubuntu7.11
