Try this, should also work for Debian by changing the debootstrap parameter
http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2009/01/07/debootstrap-intrepid-server-pv-domu-at-xen-331-centos-52-dom0-all-64-bit/

I tested it some time ago with debootstrap from EPEL
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL)
If I remembered correctly I only had to make minor changes (like
setting up static IP instead of DHCP).

Are you using PV or HVM domU? The instructions above create a PV domU,
with Ubuntu's 2.6.27-7-server kernel contained in domU, booted with
pygrub. As far as I can tell it's as fast as my Centos PV domU.
