Newer rpms are supposed to do that automatically, but I dont know what
"newer" actually means. And certainly it does not hurt to keep this.

"find $paht -type l -delete"?

In this case, to avoid package conflicts, add some tags like:

Obsoletes: xen-libs
Obsoletes: xen-tools


Also "Release: unstable" could be some automatically increasing number,
like 'date +%s'. This avoids the need for "rpm -Uvh --force xen.rpm".
Not sure how package managers deal with missing digits in the Release:
tag. If in doubt, set it to 0.
