I don't know. Take a look at the filelist:
http://packages.debian.org/etch/i386/xen-utils-3.0.3-1/filelist

xen:~# ls -l `which xm`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 2008-03-30 14:45 /usr/sbin/xm ->
../lib/xen-common/bin/xen-utils-wrapper

xen-utils-wrapper has this content:
----------
#!/bin/bash
libdir=/usr/lib
command="$(basename $0)"
version=$($libdir/xen-common/bin/xen-utils-version -v "$XEN_VERSION")
[ "$version" ] && exec "$libdir/xen-$version/bin/$command" "$@"
exit 127
------

What is /usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/bin/xm in my case.
But the code is really short:

cat /usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/bin/xm
#!/usr/bin/env python
#  -*- mode: python; -*-
import sys
sys.path.append('%s/../lib/python' % sys.path[0])
from xen.xm import main

main.main(sys.argv)

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.
