Now uploaded to delayed/5 (per-devref 5.11.2 since this is an important
bug, and I'm pretty sure it is actually RC but 2 days seemed too
aggressive).

Attached are full.debdiff and sanitized.debdiff, the latter removes the
noise from the automatic files (debian/control.md5sum and debian/.git-dpm)
as well as the noise (changed From <sha>) arising from the git-dpm
checkout-patched + git-rebase for more convenient review.

I've also pushed 2022aa90fac033bc5caa439f44b0443b6399930d to
feature/bug805508 in pkg-xen.git.

I also have a signed tag in my local repo, debian/4.6.0-1+nmu1, but I
didn't push that (seeing as how this is an NMU, I wasn't sure if I should
or not).

Ian.
