Pkg xen devel - Dec 2006 - Bug#403105: seconded; pygrub

I second the feeling that hiding xen utilities in
/usr/lib/xen-default/bin/ is not very good. I ran into it with pygrub,
which is another program widely documented to be in /usr/bin.

Seems like slave symlinks with update-alternatives could let these
programs be available in the path and still be at versions in sync with
the right version of xen.

It clashes the namespace.

Hu? The alternatives symlink don't defines the current version.
