Excellent, thanks.

I generally dislike the idea of having xen-specific daemons that aren't
useful to have on one's path under /usr/sbin/

I'd go for /usr/lib/xen/bin
It would be good to do an audit of everything we install. I bet there's
random crap in tools/misc that aren't really user tools and shouldn't be
going in /usr/bin/
