Look at the realated thread on the debian xen packaging list:

In my opinion, if not a very big change and investment of time and
money to make Xen more end-user friendly and give it better Kernel
support by the main Xen developers, aka Citrix, the future of Xen in
the real OpenSource world will be very limited - apart from real large
companies building (commercial, and maybe SAAS) products on top of it.
