I think the problem is that those packages are not part of unstable. But we have
nothing better to depend on, as debian unstable/testing don't have xen enabled
kernel at all. I still would remain as an arch: all package, as we have no
arch dependent code in the package itself, so it would be a waste to pass it to
the autobuilders every time when that's not needed...

Thanks,
