I'm afraid the necessary meta data is not present to allow them to be used as an apt source so they are download+dpkg only. Originally they were intended to simply verify that the issues people were seeing related to changesets which had been excluded from the Debian kernel. I haven't decided if these are something I necessarily want to maintain for the lifetime of Squeeze. For the moment I build them for my own personal use and so I publish them, since I might as well do so, but they are not a formal xen.org service or anything like that. For something provided by xen.org I think we would more likely want to track the latest xen.git#xen/stable-2.6.x.y branch rather than the Debian packages. Ian.
