Pkg xen devel - Jan 2013 - Bug#697412: xen-utils-4.1: pygrub does not recognize the include statement in extlinux.conf

Package: xen-utils-4.1
Version: 4.1.3-7
Severity: normal

pygrub does not recognize the include statement in extlinux.conf.  The
default Debian installation of extlinux creates a stub extlinux.conf
which includes linux.cfg, where all the linux image entries are.  This
means that even if bugs 697407 and 697409 are fixed, pygrub still can't
find the right kernel on a default Debian installation where extlinux
has been installed as the bootloader.

A workaround for bug 697407 and this bug is to

$ ln -s /boot/extlinux/linux.cfg /boot/extlinux.conf
