Sorry, we missed the FF again (this time it's maverick). To get the package maverick, a feature freeze is required following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess, otherwise the package can get into maverick+1.

Things I like to see (that makes sponsoring and maintaining easier):
1) Get all patches into the upstream project (if the patch is Ubuntu specific: find a general purpose solution)
2) Collaborate with the Debian Xen Team. You could offer your help, join the team and improve their package (get it maintained in a VCS, make it lintian clean, get patches upstream, make it simpler, ...)
3) Get it lintian clean (check lintian -iIE --pedantic *.changes) [preferred by solving 2) ]
4) The source tarball should be called 'xen' to get it aligned to Debian.

Please resubscribe ubuntu-sponsor when you have a feature freeze or when maverick+1 is open for upload. For making reviewing easier, please attach a debdiff (from Debian -> Ubuntu) to this bug report if you have a merge prepared or add the source files excluding the source tarballs (.dsc and .diff.gz / .debian.tar.*) if you have an update prepared.
