At this stage, probably not.

libvirt is pretty messy (still) when it comes to Xen. Right now, you
need to build it with *either* xm or xl toolkit - which means it breaks
pretty easily.

From reports I've had with people in ##xen on irc.freenode.net - libvirt
is still not a reliable toolkit - even with the latest versions. I
helped out a few people on there recently, and their resolution was that
it was less work to remove reliance on libvirt and use the Xen tools
natively.

Sadly, most people seem to have the same idea when coming across issues
with libvirt!

As such, I'm not sure if I can still provide a reliable libvirt package
(patches / contributions welcome!) as I still don't use it myself.
