Package: libxen-4.2
Version: 4.2.0-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

in xen 4.1 Debian packagers removed blktap uselessly as is documenteted
in the blktap bug.

in xen 4.2 qemu-dm is removed.

This removes any reasonable way to access disks and reserves Debian Xen
for diskless DomU use.

Essentially Debian Xen packages are now useless.

blktap is not supported by the kernel and will not be supported.

Off cause.

Works fine for me. However I don't use file based images.

Nope. Works fine for me.

No bug. Closing. If you want to discuss things, write a mail to the
maintainer address.
