I understand that Bastian knows what he's doing, but nevertheless I'd like
this to be okayed by Ian (CCed) before we apply it, since the current
behaviour was stablished by him.

Also, I'd like to know if we should adjust GRUB 2 accordingly (its current
policy is not to special-case Xen images).

Thanks!
