It looks like the last two items listed are the generic install names you want, that depend on the latest versions of kernel and hypervisor. Also, it looks like they both depend on the PAE version of the kernel.

Hey,I am currently running the 32-bit non-PAE version of Xen on Debian Etch. I installed all this with the Xen packages via aptitude. I want to upgrade to the 32-bit PAE enabled version of Xen.I think this *should* be as easy as "aptitude install xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386-pae" followed by an "aptitude remove xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386". Then check to make sure that my /boot and my grub menu look like they should, and change all the DomU config files to use the new PAE enabled kernel which will be installed, reboot and voila. Done. Never done anything like this before though, so I thought I'd ask here first to make sure I know what I'm talking about. =)I also have one other question. Is there a package I can install that will make sure I always have the most up-to-date version of the Xen Hypervisor? With the kernels I'm used to seeing something like a "linux-image-686" that always depends on the latest version of the kernel. So if I install that, I can make sure that my kernel is always up to date. I don't seem to see any such package for Xen though.Thanks, - GM
