[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#536175: xen-utils-3.4: Package description should mention the HVM is disabled

[Csillag Kristof]

Package: xen-utils-3.4
Version: 3.4.0-1
Severity: important

The current version of the package does not contain the IOEMU tools.
This makes HVM domains, and PV domains with emulated features like VFB
impossible to run.

There might be good reasons for this, but then at least
the package description should contain a warning that makes
this obvious, so that users know that they can not
simply replace xen-utils-3.2 with xen-utils-3.4 at this time.
