They were posted on my personal website
http://www.hellion.org.uk/debian/test/
and referred to by
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-08/msg01912.html
but I moved them to xen.org and just left a pointer on my website, I
didn't bother to announce this.

I'm afraid the necessary meta data is not present to allow them to be
used as an apt source so they are download+dpkg only.

Originally they were intended to simply verify that the issues people
were seeing related to changesets which had been excluded from the
Debian kernel.

I haven't decided if these are something I necessarily want to maintain
for the lifetime of Squeeze. For the moment I build them for my own
personal use and so I publish them, since I might as well do so, but
they are not a formal xen.org service or anything like that.

For something provided by xen.org I think we would more likely want to
track the latest xen.git#xen/stable-2.6.x.y branch rather than the
Debian packages.

Ian.
