JFTR, not only from testing, but also from unstable.

Well, the RM RoM (http://bugs.debian.org/561667) was because of
xen-tools being "obsolote, unsupported". As much as I like it, this
sounds like a final thing.
Steve: WRT "obsolete": Is there a successor project for it? Or do you
suggest to move to libvirt? With exception that it didn't get any
commits for 12 months
(http://xen-tools.repository.steve.org.uk/shortlog),
http://xen-tools.org/software/xen-tools/ doesn't sound that obsolete
(yet). But OTOH, you are not only package maintainer but also
upstream, so you are the one who has to know it best...
Kind regards, Axel Beckert
