This is not really relevant to Ubuntu anymore, as all our kernels are
appropriate as domU kernels.

Title:
  grub2 does not special case xen domU kernels

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  grub 0.97 had code in update-grub to special case xen kernels. The
  point of "indomU" was to add domU kernels only if the system was
  booted as a xen guest.

  In grub2's update-grub, there is no such code.

  The result is that if that if the user has a xen guest kernel
  installed that compares as newer than the latest non-xen kernel that
  is installed the xen guest kernel will be chosen for boot.

  If the user is not in a domU , then a 'reboot' will not boot.
