Well, I suppose the gravity could be downgraded as you can generate a initramfs image with initramfs-tools (didn't know this one, I mainly use yaird). However, lacks of config and System.map are IMO a grave problem.
The other problems I report are mainly here for the records, I don't exactly need doc etc (I used to compile a xen kernel myself before this package was uploaded) but I think they are needed before this package hits testing. I don't think the kernel team (or Bastian ?) needs help on this, however I should be able to provide a patch if necessary.
you may want to read the nice summary posted on planet.debian.org: http://blog.andrew.net.au/2006/05/07#xen1
Very nice summary indeed. I didn't noticed it (hard to find in google, as most planet debian blog posts), but I'll point newcomers to it the next time I'm asked how to do xen in debian :)
