Actually looks like it, i didnt check unstable sorry.

I see in the new xencommons that there's a XENCONSOLED_ARGS env which 
could hold all this info and be set in /etc/sysconfig/xencommons but I'm 
worried about it being overwritten by some of the checks in the script.
 69         echo Starting xenconsoled...
 70         test -z "$XENCONSOLED_TRACE" || XENCONSOLED_ARGS=" 
--log=$XENCONSOLED_TRACE"
 71         xenconsoled --pid-file=$XENCONSOLED_PIDFILE $XENCONSOLED_ARGS
 72         test -z "$XENBACKENDD_DEBUG" || XENBACKENDD_ARGS="-d"
 73         test "`uname`" != "NetBSD" || xenbackendd $XENBACKENDD_ARGS
 74 }


Either way works i guess, i like separate options because i think it's 
easier for people to write automated scripts against to ensure the 
options they want are enabled.
Thanks!
