Pkg xen devel - Apr 2012 - 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.
Cheers,
 -- Guido

Packages need to use the hypervisor version if they need to know this
directory.

There is no path needed to find qemu-dm. Even Xen upstream managed to
fix this.
