Seems strange. May be I'm doing something wrong, but:
`yaourt -Ql grub | grep xen`
grub /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen
…and still no binaries for xen in /usr/lib/grub …

Could you, please, tell me, how is it fixed now? May be you point me to these files needed for xen?
I'm not able to reopen the issue, but still haven't it closed…

on the other hand this is also true for the existing x86_64 package.
i suspect the xen-enabled build didn't quite succeed, despite my enabling it. that may have been the reason why it had been disabled in the first place. let me repeat and pay attention to it.

mea culpa. the packaging function was ignoring the xen-enabled build altogether. this should be fixed for both architectures as of grub 2:2.02-1.parabola1.2 (tested using grub-mkimage -O i386-xen -c /boot/grub/grub.cfg -o ./test.bin -p /usr/lib/grub/ /usr/lib/grub/i386-xen/*.mod)
can we close this now?

Wonderful! :)
All is working now.
I've just tested for x86_64 and all works like a charm in production.
Thank you very much! :)
