Considering that here:

http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/PvGrub

it's written that PvGrub is replacing pygrub, and that in Lenny (unless
there's still pygrub in Squeeze, but my understanding is that it's not
there anymore):

# dpkg -S /usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin/pygrub
xen-utils-3.2-1: /usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin/pygrub

yes, it's a regression !!!
