Hmm, I know that's right for Debian, but IIRC the version of Xen Kernels
in Fedora 8 is .21 - and I believe to remember, they have different
versions there for the normal Kernel (it was the latest available at
that time, .22 I guess) and the Xen kernels.

Do you think it is useful to test anything in this area for the Debian
Kernels as for now?

Or anything else I could do to help making sure we really get these
patches into Debian if they are done and useable?
