[Jeremy T. Bouse [c]]

    What we need to do is look at the build from make-kpkg when doing a
Xen build and see what virtual package name it uses and then depend on
that. If you look at a standard kernel build with make-kpkg it
"Provides" several virtual package names regardless of the specific
version of the kernel and arch. Typically this is like "linux-image-2.6,
linux-image" which can then be used for a "Depends" on specifically a
2.6 version of the kernel or any linux kernel image. We should follow
the same principal and find out what make-kpkg builds with for
"Provides". I had previously done a build but didn't save it, merely to
test the build and it did allow for building both xen0 and xenU kernels.
