1. Remember the xen package is in [community], so although somewhat
official, it isn't in [extra]
2. Xen was originally based around this hacked kernel with no obvious
update path, they are working to get the pv_opts kernel to be the
preferred method
3. We aren't using an Arch dom0 on our main (virtualized) Arch server,
so you probably shouldn't either. :) The domU is Arch, however,
running the Debian provided domU kernel.
