Just remove the package with dpkg before installing the new official 
debian package.

Didn't know that before. Just adjust the layout in install/ to put 
everything to install/usr/lib/xen-3.1.0-custom1/ and use debians wrapper 
scripts from the 3.0.3 package:
/usr/lib/xen-common/bin/xen-utils-wrapper
/usr/lib/xen-common/bin/xen-utils-version

Perhaps you need xen-common and other stuff from debian as well, which 
then pulls other dependencies, I don't know.
Regards,
Bjoern
