[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#668641: Please add a symlink /usr/lib/xen -> /usr/lib/xen-default
Package: xen Version: 4.1.2-3 Severity: wishlist Hi, we're patching libvirt (incompletely atm) and also virtinst to cope with Debian's derivation from upstream to put things into /usr/lib/xen-<version> managed via alternatives to /usr/lib/xen-default. While the basic idea is great to be able to switch between different xen versions it would us get closer to upstream if we had a symlink /usr/lib/xen -> /usr/lib/xen-default Can such a link be added? This would (among other things) resolve #661849. The alternative would be to patch the 164 test cases.
