Yes, there is no  problem with including the xen packages as generated
right now, however the Sid package no longer generates the xenlinux
patches. That means it cant be used to build Xen kernel images. Now that
this has been removed, the patch/kernel images must be acquired
separately and outside dpkg's context. (Not Cool.)
It used to generate a nicely debianised kernel-patch package that could
easily be distributed and used.
The end goal should be to have everything, including prebuilt Xen
kernels, available through the package manager.

Thanks

Tom
