Hello,

FTR, we found what seems to be the problem in IRC yesterday, see
below.

Testing has python 3.8 as default at the moment, while unstable
already has 3.9.  The file packaged for testing however is
'xenfsimage.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so' but that seems to be for
python 3.9, not for 3.8.  When starting pygrub manually with python3.9
that error goes away, but I suppose that would not work from within
the xen config, or does it?
