As per the debian/copyright, I cloned the git.

That was made by Bastian on his attempt to package xen-qemu-dm
separately. I will get the latest version from Xen 4.1, as you suggest.
I will also get things like ROMs and others from the tool directory, as
they are not the same as the "standard" qemu (I've been told that on the
xen-devel). In Squeeze, it currently works with ROMs from Qemu, but
that's luck...

Also, I'll have to use better dependencies, as PXE roms and keyboard
has, since Squeeze release, been separated in smaller package, and are
no longer embedded in Qemu.

All together, that's quite some work ahead... :)
