Only if you can build an initramfs of some sort to boot your kernel. Yaird needs a config.<version> file to build one.Assuming there is a way to build an initramfs image with initramfs-tools (thanks goes to Maximilian for pointing this), I agree (and thus don't have any objection to the severity downgrade). However, The lack of config.version and System.map is a major problem, please don't overlook it.
I'm glad there is work in progress to integrate xen in the Debian kernels. However, the current -xen kernels are mostly unusable :- no System.map - no config.<version> (that means no initrd) - no (post|pre)(inst|rm) (this is not a real problem, at least, an informative message should warn the user about the lack of boot loader / initramfs automatic configuration, and point him to some doc)- no doc (the doc should give a clue on how to configure grub, that is, load the hypervisor as a kernel and then kernel and initrd as "modules", or at least a link to xen-source.com)This don't make the included files broken.
You're right. But the package is still broken :)Anyway, the important thing is that these informations are now where people can find them, that is, in the BTS.
