One thing that comes to my mind (before I came to really test the new
features I wished) while getting the new package configured:

I just started these days to set the kernel of my VM's from a call of
a python function, which I include from an external library - to be
able to change the kernel in a central location and not have to edit
all vm configs when I start running a new kernel.

Now, xen-tools has the nice, but in this case, when kernel is set to
vmscriptlib.get_kernel(), hindering feature to test if the kernel
image really exists.
Would be cool to have a way to override this.

I think I will be able to override this in my xen-tools config
templates (not the presets, the tpl files!), by just not using the
kernel variable, and calling xen-create-image with just the kernek
currently available in /boot ...
