Ok then, so then consider this a request to have 2.6.23 kernel images that
work with the Xen packages in unstable.  Right now it's pretty pointless
to have Xen in unstable at all if the user and kernel spaces don't work
with each other or aren't available.

I disagree that it's a pointless bug report.
It was a feature that existed in etch that is no longer available in lenny -
in my mind, a bug, if not an urgent one.

This bug report should at least remain open for tracking when Xen support
is available again.  Debian can't be the only Linux distribution out there
trying to get Xen working on the latest kernels properly...
