Strange. kvm is just a meta package, as it's now replaced by qemu-kvm.

I tried to reproduce this, but couldn't. I was able to install both kvm and qemu-kvm.

Ah, there it is:

debian/control:

Conflicts: qemu (<< 0.11.0-0ubuntu5), kvm (<< 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu16+0.11.0), kvm-data
Replaces: qemu, kvm (<< 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu16+0.11.0), kvm-data

Those static versions are wrong.
