Pkg xen devel - Sep 2012 - Bug#688783: libxen-4.2: debian packages of xen are utterly broken

Package: libxen-4.2
Version: 4.2.0-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

in xen 4.1 Debian packagers removed blktap uselessly as is documenteted
in the blktap bug.

in xen 4.2 qemu-dm is removed.

This removes any reasonable way to access disks and reserves Debian Xen
for diskless DomU use.

Essentially Debian Xen packages are now useless.
