[Bug 297077] Re: libxen3 in hardy-backports breaks Xen 3.2

[agent 8131]

First of all, I don't think it can be stressed too often that turning on
backports without using pinning is generally a very bad idea.  For
maximum stability you want to only pull in specific packages from
backports.

That said I think a solution to this problem would be that (roughly):

* xen-utils 3.3.0 should depend on libxen3 >= 3.3.0 and should conflict with libxen < 3.3.0
* xen-utils 3.2.0 should depend on libxen3 >= 3.2.0 and should conflict with libxen >= 3.3.0

I'd say these are SRU worthy fixes and once backported would prevent
this issue as well as a few others.
