Mmm... so for you it only works with udev from backports.org...  For me instead
it only works if I only have hotplug from sarge... Mmmm... good shape... :(

And if you didn't what happened? We cannot count on users doing that! (Even if
it's only from unstable...)

Was it a problem if it failed? Did it refuse to complete the upgrade?
In that case we should probably, if we can fix this... The best way to do it
would be to only start xend if the current hypervisor is a supported version...
Is there any way to check the version of the running hypervisor?
