I found this howto about guests running on a host with wireless internet connection: (proxy arp)

http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/bridge-wireless-cards/

The steps described there work so far, but it would be perfect, if the guest could somehow obtain an IP via DHCP and if the whole stuff could be setup as Debian package.

This is just doing routing. There's a much easier way to do this with libvirt. See:

http://www.libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#examplesRoute

DHCP will never work because you've technically created a separate subnet. You could run a local copy of dnsmasq to manage the range of IP addresses you're reserved for your private subnet though.
