My inclination is towards a naming scheme like xen46, xen48, etc + a meta package that always depends on the latest. It should be more obvious when
there's a major upgrade, and those who can't afford a major upgrade can uninstall the meta package.

For the record, we have no particular desire for xen 4.4 but haven't done enough testing to say xen 4.6 is good yet.
