The /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen is indeed part of grub-common, but, I'm not
just going to NIMBA reassign, since the grub-common maintainer will not
have any idea what to do with it, unless you guys find out what's wrong
first and have clear directions and questions and patches about how to
improve the situation.

Currently, the only thing I can do before doing new unstable uploads or
stable/security stuff is do smoke testing on amd64.

That doesn't mean I don't care. It does mean however that extra help in
the team is really appreciated.

Have fun,
Hans
