+xen (4.16.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+    At this version xen in Debian switched from using standard full-blown build
+    of qemu-system-i386 for the HVM domains and qdisks to a special xen-only
+    build of qemu in qemu-system-xen package. Previously we recommended
+    qemu-system-x86, now we recommend qemu-system-xen.  This significantly
+    reduces amount of inter-dependencies.
+
+    If you have apt configured to automatically install package Recommends
+    (which is the default), when updating to this version of xen, apt will
+    install the new qemu-system-xen recommendation by default, so your
+    qemu-xen domains, if any, will continue to work as before. You might
+    want to remove qemu-system-x86 package at this time if you do not use
+    it, - xen does not use it anymore.
+
+    If your apt is configured to not install Recommends by default, and you
+    do have qemu-xen domUs, you may want to install qemu-system-xen package
+    manually.
