[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#695056: xen - Missing support for XZ compressed bzimage kernels

[Bastian Blank]

Package: src:xen
Version: 4.1.3-4
Severity: serious

The bzimage loader used in both libxc and the hypervisor lacks XZ
support. Debian kernels since 3.6 are compressed with XZ and can't be
loaded.

Support for XZ compression was added in changeset 23002:eb64b8f8eebb
somewhere last year.
