May be I missed a version number somewhere, but that was not the  
point: It was just a hint at the choosen version scheme Debian Xen  
packages used so far (with two subrevision numbers like -0-2 instead  
of just the usual one linke -2. The Xen people changed their  
versioning with Xen 3.1, may be that should be adopted by the Debian  
packages? (I tried to drop one subrevision but that broke the package  
build process.)

Someone at the Xen mailinglist complained with no detail, that the  
3.1-doc-package has issues. For me it looks fine. May be you will see  
the problem?

BTW: Some questions regarding the packages:

On the first package build the process misses two directories (debian/ 
stamps and debian/build), after creating them by hand everything runs  
fine. I just call the targets setup and binary - did I miss something?

There is even a but report regarding this: The Debian Xen/kernel  
packages do not contain the blktap modules. What is the reason for  
this? (I did not find any discussion in the list archives.)

Thanks for the work of the team. After getting the idea behind the  
Xen packaging it works like a charm rebuilding new Xen upstream  
versions for Debian.
