The only problem with this is, as it affects some files like
scripts/LAST/50-misc you will have to manage nearly same (only one
line is different) copies of that file in two locations.

One Idea how to solve that:
For example the hwclock part could split out into the script
55-set-hwclock ( which is anyway better zthan "misc" which is knid
meaningless), and in the xen and vserver example there's a check added
if the class is not VSERVER or XENU.
A user who wants to use the additional example needs then to copy
examples/xen/* over the simple examples to get both.
