According to the FHS this is not allowed:
####
3.7.1. Purpose
The /etc hierarchy contains configuration files. A "configuration
file" is a local file used to control the operation
of a program; it must be static and cannot be an executable binary.

3.7.2. Requirements
No binaries may be located under /etc.

I don't know if the directory /etc/xen-default/bin contains some
binaries but after the name it seems that it does. As a location for
XEN defaults it is annoying to create another directory instead using
/etc/default/.

Thanks
