Oz claims to be able to do this:
https://github.com/clalancette/oz/wiki/oz-install

You might also want to look at virt-builder:
http://libguestfs.org/virt-builder.1.html

At any rate, your solution will be higher up on the stack than what
libvirt provides, so you may get better answers by asking on libguestfs
mailing list or similar.
