Yes, that's basically it. There is much less to do in prepare_dom0.sh,
and it's much easier too because we can just do apt-get, instead of
compiling git from source ;)

Excellent, splitting build_domU.sh up should make this easier. I'll
rebase my work on top of your latest commit, and then we can work on
integrating the two scripts.

Any testing you do with devstack using the XCP toolstack on Ubuntu will
help us out too. Thanks for taking an interest in this project!
