Pasting parts of the diffs because it was an attachment: diff --git a/debian/not-installed b/debian/not-installed index 5ffa447587..7888222c55 100644 --- a/debian/not-installed +++ b/debian/not-installed @@ -7,7 +7,6 @@ etc/init.d/xendriverdomain etc/init.d/xencommons etc/init.d/xen-watchdog etc/init.d/xendomains -etc/default/xencommons ^^ etc/default/xencommons in debian/not-installed has to stay, because of the dh-exec bug: https://salsa.debian.org/xen-team/debian-xen/commit/2501ae058a50920e0c5dec9828ae62597df10a7b --- a/debian/rules +++ b/debian/rules @@ -320,4 +320,3 @@ override_dh_missing: # earlier versions.

Overriding dh_ucf to only do dh_ucf doesn't seem useful? Ah, I now see that we already still had a xen-utils-common.ucf which was still in place. I was wondering how ucf could do the right thing here, but now it makes sense. I still don't fully understand all of it, but I can help testing scenarios. So, what about other files? Should also e.g. add /etc/default/xendomains to ucf? /etc/xen/oxenstored.conf? Hans
