I still believe that this bug is substantial enough that it qualifies
for an SRU to both Hardy and Intrepid.

Since 3.3.0-1ubuntu7 is the version in Intrepid,
xen-3.3_3.3.0-1ubuntu8.debdiff posted above should still be valid for
Intrepid.

I'm attaching xen-3.2_3.2.0-0ubuntu11.debdiff, which should be the
equivalent diff for an SRU in Hardy.

I'd appreciate feedback from ubuntu-sru.

** Attachment added: "xen-3.2_3.2.0-0ubuntu11.debdiff"

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xen-utils-3.2
  
  The xendomains init script has a couple of errors.
  
  IMPACT: These errors cause the normal migrate then save then shutdown
  mechanisms to fail, and instead skip straight to the "shutdown all"
  stage. In addition to being a major departure from the expected
  behavior, this could cause loss of user data, if users expect the state
  of their VMs to be saved instead of destroyed.
  
- PATCH: The attached patch from Carl Fooks
- (http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13407539/xendomains.patch) represents the
- minimal patch necessary to restore functionality.
+ PATCH:
+ http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20457983/xen-3.2_3.2.0-0ubuntu11.debdiff
+ for Hardy and
+ http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20406413/xen-3.3_3.3.0-1ubuntu8.debdiff
+ for Intrepid represent the minimal patch to restore functionality.
  
  TEST CASE:
  1. Start a Xen domU
  2. Run /etc/init.d/xendomains stop
  3. Observe that, after several errors are spewed, the domU is not saved to 
/var/lib/xen/save, as is the default Ubuntu config, but is instead shutdown.
  
  REGRESSIONS: This is a two line patch whose implications can be pretty
  easily observed directly. It is highly unlikely to make things any less
  functional than they are now.
  
  Please note, this is not the same as bug #208300.
