Accidentally, again. :-/

The xen-linux meta-packages don't *do* very much, and there is no
longer a xen-linux-system-<abiname>-amd64 package for them to depend
on, which is why xen-linux-system-amd64 is not automatically generated
any more.  However, I did mean to include a transitional xen-linux-
system-amd64 to support upgrades to stretch.
