+xen (4.11.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+    This package version fixes a bug that would call the stop action on the
+    xen init script when removing an obsolete xen-utils-V package for a Xen
+    version V other than the currently running one. This results in stopping
+    the xenconsoled process.
+
+    If you just upgraded from Xen 4.8 (Stretch), this will happen when
+    removing the xen-utils-4.8 package afterwards.
+
+    The resulting situation can safely be repaired by calling the start action
+    on the xen script again manually once to bring back the xenconsoled
+    process. There will be no damage to running domUs.
+
+    If you're upgrading from previous Xen 4.11 packages, no action is needed.
+
+    Having these (or later) Xen 4.11 packages installed means that the bug
+    will not trigger any more when removing xen-utils-4.11 after upgrading to
+    a newer Xen version (e.g. 4.13) in the future.
