Is it possible that deboostrap (used by xen-tools) has installed the
regular libc6 in the chroot initially and only installs libc6-xen later
on, i.e. when the messages stop? All commands run in the chroot in that
interval would then use the wrong libc, regardless of which is installed
on the host.

I don't see a special case in debootstrap for the xen libc, xen-tools
installs libc6-xen later on.

Ian.
