Is it necessary to file a bug to grub2, or there is already one?
And the update-grub allways add the dom0 kernel only entry to grub.cfg
instead of add xen.gz combined with the dom0 kernel.
menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-686" --class
debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
        insmod ext2
        set root='(/dev/sda,5)'
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set c006ca40-0b79-426e-b8d3-5fa5b3696bea
        echo    Loading Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-686 ...
        linux   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-xen-686 root=/dev/sda5 ro
quiet vga=0x317
        echo    Loading initial ramdisk ...
        initrd  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-xen-686
}
