That's surprising. IIRC pv-grub-menu is a relative new package and
there were some issues with pv-grub support in Debian's Xen in the
past. Didn't know that pv-grub is already deprecated again. (Haven't
yet started playing with it. :-)

OK. Planned to play around it with on my Xen test box at work after
the season's holidays.

Not at all! I gyess it serves perfectly as reminder to rework the
description once the package stabilizes. :-)

Thanks for the feedback!
