the pae-hypervisor is working (even if the userspace tools are not compiled 
"for" a pae version). That means we can definitly supply a non-pae and a pae 
version of the hypervisor package that doesn't need to conflict with each 
other in any way... great, that helps a lot in packaging and maybe also for 
some users that can easily switch between a normal and a pae setup then (if 
they have kernels installed for both).

I also edited the rules file "a bit" (and tested it, so it still works *g*)

I have removed some (at least from now on) useless lines and changed the 
make-calls a bit. now there will be only the make dist call in the build 
section (+ the make xen call for the pae hypervisor if build_arch=i386). If 
you find a better (and more debian-policy compatible) way, please feel free 
to change it again. I just thought that is at least better then the old way.
