There is already support for Xen for amd64. As of Xen 3.1 amd64 bit is
already supported, so I believe that is why you only see one Xen kernel
package, as they are now compatible. Somebody please correct me if my
understanding is incorrect.

As mentioned previously though, package support is good with the meta
packages ubuntu-xen-desktop-amd64 and ubuntu-xen-server-amd64.
