Done in 3.0. (Yes, I used alsa-utils as template ;)

Done in 3.0. But why in postinst and not in the package ?

According to other packages (e.g. apache2-common), we don't need to
handle this in postinst. bootclean only remove files in /var/run.

It removes /var/lib/xenstored.
dpkg will remove /var/run/xenstored ; in fact, it has to be tested,
because, I am not sure dpkg will remove this file is a file exists and
xenstored is running, maybe we will have to shut down xenstored before.
This needs investigation.

I let you add my changes to -unstable if you agree with them.
