We wrote that page before we decided on a name for the package, so it's 
out of date.
xcp-xapi depends on the xen-hypervisor package directly. You can just 
let it install that package, and then probably use dpkg -r 
xen-hypervisor afterwards. If that tries to remove xcp-xapi too, then 
you could probably just delete the /boot/xen.gz file, and install it 
directly from source. I'm no Debian expert, so you might want to just 
ask this on one of the Debian IRC channels to be sure.
