never tried virt-install with debian and derivates, but i would
recommend to use the "netinstall-method" provided by the
debian-installer
Just put
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/xen/xm-debian.cfg
in e.g. /etc/xen/lucid.cfg
edit the vif= and disk=-lines to your needs.
and start the the installation
xm create -c lucid.cfg install=true
and ur done
Another nice approach is the usage of xen-tools.
