Short story: you're using Centos kernel and initrd for Debian. That
won't work. Modern distro usually needs their own initrd.

How proficient are you with Xen/Linux? If you prefer mostly to use
GUI, then the easiest way is to use virt-install, create
fully-virtualized (HVM) Debian guest with install media from cdrom,
and convert it to PV (manually) later. To succesfully install HVM
guest you need CPU with hardware virtualization support
(intel-vt/amd-v)

If you're familiar with chroot, apt-get, update-grub, and other
command line tools, it should be possible to create a suitable initrd
for your stacklet image.
