I did a draft of xen 4.4 packages for debian starting from 
4.4.0-0ubuntu5 plus some changes.
I included the close of some bugs in changelog but surely there will be 
more resolved to be added.
I tested build on sid and was successfull.
During the week when I have time I'll make the buildon a clean sid and 
I'll test thepackages.
I'll probably do other improvements.

The draft I did with all changes are here:

Any feedback is appreciated.
