Package: xen-utils-3.0.3-1
Version: 3.0.3-0-2
Severity: normal

If the /boot directory of the system resides on a separate partition,
the menu items for grub generated by xen-utils are wrong.

The XEN hypervisor path is specified as /boot/xen-<whatever>,
instead of the correct /xen-<whatever>.

(Since at the point of reading the xen hypervisor we have only mounted 
the  partition containing /boot as /, the /boot prefix is not necassary.

The same situation is handled by the GRUB menu autogeneration tools
(for non-XEN kernels ant initrds) just nice.

Good luck.
