Okay, if the question what scm system should be use is solved, what are the 
next steps?

I am not sure if there are other debian xen3 packages besides mine. If not, I 
would like to check in my /debian tree as starting point into the subversion 
repository. I have a working version for xen 3.0.1 (testing) and for 
xen-unstable. The 3.0.1 version uses a 2.6.12 kernel and has vt support. xen 
unstable uses 2.6.16-rc2 (at least at the momet) and has also svm (amd 
pacifica) support available. so what is better for us? 

Another question that comes to my mind: If we only manage the /debian 
directory we might also want to use a system for creating binary packages 
automaticly, so that it's easier for us to test if the resulting packages are 
working like expected. An autobuilder has also the advantage that there are 
only the build-dependencies installed and so no importat depedencies are 
missed (which seems to happen quite often in other debian source packages!).

is there any easy way to build such (maybe daily) packages with the debian 
buildd network? if not I can easily adjust my persoal autobuild system to 
create packages from the xensource hg repository + our debian tree.
