This was probably me. I cannot reproduce the exact details, but
installation of xen was kind of a clusterchallenge: indeed some of the
buildd keys expired, but also the packages I installed (without errors)
didn't have the orig tarballs included because when accepted in April
there was still a previous upload of xen in the queue that did have an
orig tarball. I had to jump through several hoops and tries to get
something both with an orig tarball and signed by nonexpired keys
installed for all archs. Apparently this lead to the current situation of
the different archives having accepted different builds of the same
source.

I'm fine with just replacing the copy on ftp-master with the build from
security-master, which would seem to solve the issue.
