The latter, I think. It adds in support for Xen DomU, and kernel-package obliges. The only difference, at this point, is in the name of the kernel image, it can be installed and used as a normal kernel as well. Maybe... but how to do? dpkg -i linux-xenu-2.6.31_custom.1.0_amd64.deb installs /boot/xenu-linux-2.6.31 and this does not get included by grub. Something has to be fixed so that a user following the standard instructions installing a custom kernel does not run into trouble.

Bug#551104: kernel-package: make-kpkg (binary-arch|kernel_image) generates xenu pkg
Hallo On Thursday 15 October 2009 21:57:27 Manoj Srivastava wrote: It only does that if you have configured Xen in your .config file. You probably have CONFIG_XEN or CONFIG_X86_64_XEN set in the .config, but not CONFIG_XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST. This is part of the new support for Xen in make-kpkg. Debian kernels (at least amd64 ones) have CONFIG_XEN but don't have CONFIG_XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST in /boot/config-*. Users get really confused, when using that config and make-kpkg results in a xenu package. CONFIG_XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST seems to have been entirely removed, grep finds files containing this only in the debian subdir.
