Unless somebody steps up to maintain xen-api, I don't think it makes
sense to continue keeping these packages in Ubuntu, given that Debian
have removed them from testing and the existing packages broken (and, it
seems, thus stuck in trusty-proposed). So we should remove them from
trusty-proposed.
I have filed bug 1278352 to have these packages removed from Trusty.
FYI, I just had a chat with the lead xapi developer. He's said that
unfortunately management has told them not to work on the open-source
xapi packages (at least for now); so if there is nobody in the
community willing to maintain it, then I think removing it is probably
the best option.
On a related note -- what version of libvirt / Xen will be in Trusty?
The SuSE guys have made a lot of progress on getting good support for
libxl and libvirt; that's probably the best way forward.

Libvirt version 1.2.x (currently .1) not sure whether this may or may not change
until release. Xen ... at least 4.3.2 (not yet uploaded) but there has been some
interest (for the better Arm support) on 4.4. Depends a bit how soon/late the
release is compared to Trusty.
I think it should be out by the end of the month, but you know how
predictable software development is. :-) We just checked in a patch
series that should make libvirt on libxl really stable (fixed a bunch of
obscure race conditions, apparently it now runs for days of stress
testing without any problems), so if you could get 4.4 in, that would be
great. (If not, I think the series may end up being backported to 4.3
at some point, but I'm not sure.)
Anyway, I would like to make xl the default for new setups at least. I am
currently using it a lot together with virt-manager (though it has some odd ends
still) and I am being told that openstack integration is done via libvirt at
least (not sure they mandate the stack being xl or not).
Yeah, long-term I think libvirt is going to be the most suitable thing
from both sides.
