Sorry to jump on this thread at this point, but I just joined this mailing list and don't have the previous emails in my system. The other problem Rudi mentioned I'm hitting as I'm working to get kvm building again in factory. I've entered a bug (bnc#509680) which references the bogus symlink. I think for now I'll try to work around it, unless a fix comes in fairly soon. - Bruce

why is it trying to write to the kernel source when building modules with M=/usr/src/packages/..... ?

Hmm, what it's trying to do is create/update a file in $(objtree). Probably that should just be inhibited for KBUILD_EXTMOD builds, as it's supposedly meaningless there (though it's not impossible to imagine that some external module would have a -xen clone of a native file, too). I'll look into fixing this.
