I have always heard that the 32-bit Xen in Debian is non-PAE, but maybe
this is wrong...  Googling I found this article:

OK, important information for me. So I have to switch to a 32-bits dom0
to make it work with Lenny.

Are you sure a 64-bits Lenny with Etch kernel does also not support
32-bits domU's?

I like Debian packages because of the security-support.
What are the advantages of your package over the Debian packages?
