The other option of course would be to have a parallel patch in Fedora's
libvirt package, which calls "/etc/init.d/xend status" instead of
"/usr/bin/xend status" -- but that seems like it's probably more fragile
than just re-enabling the option in the Xen package.

It is specific to the Fedora package. I traced it to the xen-initscript.pat=
