Hi,

Thanks for this bug report. But in the future, could you please check
the definition of the bugs seriousness?

Reportbug says:
"critical: makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system)
break, or causes serious data loss, or introduces a security hole on
systems where you install the package."

This doesn't match *at all* your bug report.

This is likely to be a missing feature than a bug, so I'm downgrading
this to severity: wishlist.

Note that severity has very little to do with how much someone wants to
fix an issue. In this case, you'll have to ask upstream about it, and
not the package maintainer. Probably, asking in the xen-api list would
be a good idea, if you want to see progress on this.

Cheers,

Thomas
