I don't like uploading packages that I can't test.  Which obviously means
installing them and booting xen.  My work hasn't had a test system for me to
use, but that seems to be fixed now.

Another problem, is that debian like to remove old kernel source.  Which means
supporting older xen(even 2.0.7) is tricky, as it requires 2.6.12.

In all honesty, I would love to see newer versions of xen 2.0 for newer
kernels; it'd make my job that much easier.
