Sorry about that. I should have read the guidelines for bug reporting in Debian.

Would migration be necessary? As far as I know, libvirt will automaticallyfall back to the current xen driver if xend is running. It will only use xl ifxend is not started.
Am I correct to assume that any existing libvirt configuration for xen wouldhave xend started automatically as it is required?
