it's working at least as good as my version, but to check the pae-hypervisor 
in combination with the normal user-space tools I need to wait till monday, 
because I have some pae-compatible systems at work to really test these 
changes.

the only difference between your version and my patch is that your version 
will install some .h files to /usr/include/xen again that already were copied 
with the "make dist" call before. My patch didn't do this, but because the 
files are identical that should be no problem at all (but only compiling the 
pae version would result in less .h files (which seems to be an upstream 
issue)).

good idea...

and another question, wouldn't it be better to also use "Debian Xen Team 
<pkg-xen-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org>" (or something like that) in the 
changelog? We don't need the information who changed the package for 
ourselves, because we use svn. But for the real release using the team 
emailadress might help to have users mail to the list instead to just one 
person. I also saw that for other packages like kde.
