No, there is nothing wrong, there have simply been some changes in
xen-unstable.

Xen now uses configure (AKA autoconf), in common with a large proportion
of open source software. It also has an additional dependency on the
yajl library. I don't think there is anything unusually burdensome about
either of those changes and in both cases an informative message was
printed.
