Well... the machine runs fine... :)
But never mind, if you think, it's not worth it, then we'll leave it. 
Just tell me what you think, so also the debian bug can be closed as 
wontfix or whatever.
If you want to investigate this further, I would of course do what I can 
to support you (with my limited knowledge of xen).
Thanks anyway!
