I'm not sure if this is the correct place to get the message through.

The unofficial Debian packages of Xen 2.0 found in:

  http://www.terrabox.com/debian/binary/

are more or less broken. They have versions such as:

  Version: 2.0_0.20041018_1.1401

Having underscores in versions is not really supported - and the
latest packages even lack the debian package version (even though the
Xen packages are not Debian native).

Perhaps a version such as 2.0+bk.20041018.1.1.401-1 would be more
suited - but even this carries the problem that a real 2.0-1 release
would be 'older' than such a revision. But this is not such a big
issue since the packages are not official and people can 'downgrade'
to the official packages when they come.
