I made public some packages that I created (for 2.0.6), and have been getting feedback on them, especially on things such as how the packages are broken down (slightly differently from the original), how stable are the modules, how to best deal with the /lib/tls issue (if you get answers to your most recent questions about it, that would help, too) and what's the appropriate behaviour in an "upgrade" on a machine that has running domUs. My intention was to create a set of unstable packages if the stable packages seemed useful (but that certainly won't be this week) and also post (probably to xen-users) again to try to see who else is still working on this. Also (if you haven't seen it) this page has some comments on the patches/glibc/tls issue a link to a package that somebody built: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/DebianSarge
