The approach we have taken with the .deb equivalent is that the result
is basically "a tarball which can be cleanly uninstalled, for developer
use" not "a package which is well integrated with the overall system".
People who want an integrated "end user" package should use the one from
the proper package maintainer for the distro.

In other words I think it should be up to the person installing this
thing to not install packaged Xen from the distro at the same time and
deal with any resulting conflicts etc themselves.
