suggests that we are prone to "loosing" bugs as the package versions change
since they include the Xen version.

To avoid this we can ship a reportbug control file to redirect those bugs to
src:xen, which the attached patch does.

I went with three separate debian/templates/FOO.bug dirs for each of the
packages which contain the version number in the name, even though the contents
is currently the same, in anticipation of that they may gain some differences
in the future. I could of course trivially mrge those three directories into
one if you prefer.

I've also done git flow publish to populate the feature/reportbug branch in
git. Note that this also contains two other changes which I needed to be able
to build test against current sid:
 - Added upstream patch 3f82ea62826d4eb06002d8dba475bafcc454b845 "xen: common:
   Use unbounded array for symbols_offset" for FTBFS with gcc-5
 - Update to linux-support-4.1.0-1

You may or may not want those, but I trust you can cherry-pick as you want.

Cheers,
Ian.
