Bug#732247: grub-xen: Package description doesn't explain if this package is thought for DomUs or Dom0s

Package: grub-xen
Severity: minor
Version: 2.00+20131208-1

Dear GRUB Maintainers,

the current package description of grub-xen leaves open if this package
is thought for DomUs (guest machines) or Dom0s (host machines):

  This package contains a version of GRUB that has been built for use
  with the Xen hypervisor (i.e. PV-GRUB).

I though suspect it's for use within a DomU
(c.f. http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/PvGrub), so I suggest a more verbose
description like this:

  This package contains a version of GRUB that has been built for use
  inside Xen guest domains (DomUs), i.e. for use with PV-GRUB.
  .
  It does not need to be installed on the Xen Dom0.
