Pkg xen devel - Apr 2006 - Newbie question

Dear all,

If I want to build a box which is mainly full of packages from the
stable distribution but for the minor addition of this crazy Xen 3.x
thing, what's the best way to go about it ?

I think I'll need to compile my own kernels, but do I need to compile
the userland Xen stuff too, or is there a  semi-official backport ? 

Reading the archives suggests various packages in various states of
preparedness, but I'm confused as to the best ones to use as of now.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Semi official ones here:
http://naquadah.org/~jd/debian/xen/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/
Directly build from the repository.

For the kernel, you should use the latest version of kernel-package I
think, I don't know if it's possible to backport it.
Maybe Guido knows.
