[Bug 1923616] Re: Please remove rax-nova-agent and xe-guest-utils source and binaries from Hirsute

[Malcolm Scott]

xe-guest-utilities is the Xen equivalent to open-vm-tools which is still
in Ubuntu to support VMware.

Though xe-guest-utilities may have been added to Ubuntu for one
particular cloud, it is needed on all installations of Ubuntu in VMs
running on Citrix Hypervisor / XenServer, or on XCP-ng etc..

It would be very helpful for those of us who run Ubuntu on Xen VMs if
xe-guest-utilities were reintroduced before 22.04.
