In that case shipping NEWS in libxen* would of course be fine in my
opinion even if it also includes some additional information that might
only be relevant to users of the other NEWS files.

You can have `debian/<package>.NEWS` for per-binary NEWS when using
`dh_installchangelogs` or install them in some other way. But it
increases overhead and I would personally avoid having per-binary NEWS
for this reason.
