IMHO, the best way to solve this would a additional line in the spec-file:
"Provide: kernel-dom0" for those kernel that are provide this functionality.

Then the xen-packages could "Require: kernel-dom0"
no matter which way the kernel functionality came to be.

Maybe ask even across distros for such a implemention,
to get a more coherent experience for xen.

Have a nice weekend,
