That's the case here, running on bullseye/testing.

x86_64 host here, and some old 32 bit virtual machines, no weird
network or hardware pass through setup, rather simple.  HVM and pvgrub
based DomU VMs run fine so far.  pygrub based VMs, both 32 bit and 64
bit fail with the following error:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/xen-4.14/bin/pygrub", line 27, in <module>
      import xenfsimage
  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xenfsimage'

Should I file a new bug for the above mentioned problem?  Or is that
covered by #975062 already?
