I haven't looked at this but it sounds annoying.

Xen 4.8 is freezing RSN.  I would like to get Xen 4.8 into stretch.  I
think we should probably be aiming to upload a lateish Xen 4.8 RC into
stretch when it comes out.  Xen 4.8.0 will have been out for a while
by the Debian soft freeze in January.  Getting 4.8 into sid and
stretch will also mean that the recent security vulnerabilities will
be fixed; currently stretch is in rather poor shape.
