Package: xen-utils-4.11
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

We have discovered that the `pygrub` binaries, expected under `/usr/lib/xen-4.11/bin`, are no longer present in the 
xen-utils-4.11 package.

Reviewing the source package reveals that the binary is still present under `tools/pygrub/src/pygrub`, however it is not 
referenced anywhere obvious in the package build configurations, nor is there any changelog indication that it has been 
moved or removed.

The other files present in that source directory are installed under `/usr/lib/xen-4.11/lib/python/grub`, just not the 
binary.

This negatively affects any Xen system requiring `pygrub` to function.
