</I>If 'running in Xen' means 'running as guest', you don't need any special
kernel for hardware virtualisation, and just a kernel with Xen support
for paravirtualisation. The dom0 support is only needed for the xen
host. Which means the installer kernel itself should have xen support to
be runnable in any context.
By the way, kernel-xen-pvops isn't needed anymore, and could be safely
dropped AFAIK.
