Thanks, as it happens I'd made a start on rc1 at the mini-debconf in
Cambridge earlier in the year. I've just now rebased that to rc3 and
pushed to the pkg-xen git tree[0] (see the feature/experimental-rc3
branch). I've built and confirmed that the package content is sane, plus
I've installed on a test machine and started a PV guest (seems fine).

If you notice any glaring differences between what's in that tree and
what you ended up with then please do give a shout, since as you say
there were some distinctly non-trivial rebasing bits in there (2c96ecb1
was a particular pain as you say!)

Ian.
