+xen (4.0.1-5.6) stable-proposed-updates; urgency=low
+
+ * Non-maintainer upload, previously discussed with Guido.
+ * Fixes Xen clock long standing issue, eg: fix scale_delta() inline assembly,
+ causing domU offset and possibly leading to crashes (Closes: #599161). Thanks
+ to Ian Campbell <ijc@hellion.org.uk> for forwarding the patch to the Debian
+ BTS, and Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com> for working on an upstream patch.
The indentation's somewhat odd there; generally the second and
subsequent lines would be in line with "Fixes" rather than the asterisk.
In any case, please go ahead; thanks.

Adam
