[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#824341: wheezy-pu: update xen-utils-4.1 with patch to boot jessie/grub2 VMs

If somebody is still running wheezy for their dom0 (host) environment
and they are using jessie or other systems with grub2 in their VMs, they
can't boot their VM.

A rather trivial 1-line fix in the dom0 (host) system fixes the problem.

Please advise if the release team would accept an upload to old-stable
adding the following 1-line patch:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;bug=783346;filename=GrubConf.py-jessie.patch;att=1

The bug report with the patch and discussion is:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=783346

Note that if people are using XCP, they are stuck on wheezy for their
dom0 because XCP was not included[1] in jessie, so they can't solve this
issue by simply upgrading the host.

Regards,

Daniel
