[Helge Muehlmeier]

Hello list,

I have a Wheezy server and want do create an ubuntu trusty server as domU.

I found some informations that I have to backport debootstrap and 
install a newer xen-tools4.5-1
manually.

Debian Wheezy has now debootstrap and xen-tools in newer versions but 
give an error while create a lvm-disk.
