Well, since Lenny is not scheduled to release until the latter half of
2008 and will be security supported for at least one year after that, it
means that I am stuck manually rebuilding all the security updates to
the xen-3.0 package between now and then, about two years (I intend to
keep running Etch for quite a while since I don't want to have to
upgrade just for the sake of it).

In any event, I disagree with your statement.  But then that is the sort
of the feedback I was looking for that would make filing a bug
unproductive.
