Hi Bastian,

I have been running Xen 4.0.0 on my laptop since you made the Debian
package, and there wasn't a single glitch (apart maybe the hibernate
function which I don't really care about). Using an old version of Xen
that already receives less attention from upstream isn't a bright idea.
I believe that 4.0.1 will soon be released, which has many fixes.
There's lots of new interesting features in 4.x too (like blktap2, which
I believe you could re-add in the Debian package as the issue with
OpenSSL was only the md5 thing, I suppose you saw it). My vote goes for
4.0.x.
