Hello James,

. At some point official 3.1.0 packages will be available for Xen. It
would be nice to have the changeover procedure documented (or just a
script to remove everything). I got bitten when I first tried the Debian
packages because I had some 3.0.1 cruft still lying around.

Just remove the package with dpkg before installing the new official debian package.

. One of the nice things that the Debian Xen packages allow is to have
multiple versions installed concurrently (eg 3.0.3, 3.0.2). The tools in
the path are all just scripts which call the version of the tools that
match the hypervisor. It would be nice to extend that here...

Didn't know that before. Just adjust the layout in install/ to put everything to install/usr/lib/xen-3.1.0-custom1/ and use debians wrapper scripts from the 3.0.3 package:

/usr/lib/xen-common/bin/xen-utils-wrapper
/usr/lib/xen-common/bin/xen-utils-version

Perhaps you need xen-common and other stuff from debian as well, which then pulls other dependencies, I don't know.

Regards,
Bjoern
