Here's hypervisor vs. kernel. I don't know if it's at all useful, since we
have a meta-package, but here it is. I think this is all downloads ever, and
it's not summarized. Also, the totals don't help, as we break the modules
out. Sorry.

Hypervisor.

"Sorting them out and ignoring the modules, the xen0 kernels have been
downloaded 19,339 times and the xenU kernels have been downloaded 13,689
times.  Sorry, that should be "requested", not downloaded. The logs
don't list the number of times that the download was aborted for one
reason or another. The chances are that the high numbers would not
square completely with the bandwidth use for that reason."

An interesting note, the kernel source
(/debian/pool/main/k/kernel-source-2.6.11_2.6.11-7_all.deb) has been
downloaded 330 times, and we never told people we kept that there...
