(Switching to my personal address not because I'm not doing work for
Citrix, but because the corporate email is not working properly.
Sigh.)

I have uploaded the un-embargoed updates to jessie-security.

sid's xen.dsc doesn't built with sid's gcc.  I will file a bug about
this.  So I am doing to do an binaryful upload to stretch-security
now.

Also, I have access via my Xen Project Security Team hat to the
patches for the predisclosed advisories 231..234 and since Debian is
also on the Xen Project predisclosure list I think it is proper for me
with my Debian hat to start work on the packages for those.  The
release date is 2017-09-12 12:00.  See https://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/
