Jumping ahead of the buster todo-list... One thing I've been wondering
about...

How does the new package play together with qemu in Debian? How far are
we now away from being able to do buster-backports without qemu problems
for whoever wants to use HVM with backports?

>From the discussion last month at Citrix I understood that qemu could
likely be changed to depend on one or more of the stable library
packages instead of libxenmisc4.y (or, libxen-4.y, including all of it now).

Also, does that mean there need to be more libxen<blaat>-dev packages,
or not?
