The installation actually never finishes, but otherwise editing the
config afterward would be a fine.

I couldn't install the older version (original 12.04) because of
dependency challenges.

I have tried again, but this time I installed openvswitch by itself. It
errors out due to missing kernel headers. I added the missing headers
and then openvswitch installed successfully. But as a dependency of the
xcp-xapi package, it proceeds onward with the installation as if
openvswitch was setup correctly. That's where it (or another dependent
package?) gets stuck waiting on openvswitch to start. As long as I meet
the openvswitch kernel header dependency before installing xcp-xapi, the
installation succeeds.

I made the "openvswitch" => "bridge" change post install. The server is
working fine.

It would be good if the xcp-xapi package errored out properly in the
case openvswitch is not available, otherwise the xcp-xapi package is not
at fault. Thanks for the help.
