Unfortunately the Debian trees are not setup in a way which allows us to do
paravirtualized Xen installs from virt-manager[1]. So for Debian you'll have to
use full-virt instead, or run the Debian bootstrap scripts to manually create
a DomU image.  

Not much help for your situation, but we're prototyping support for installing
SuSE paravirt guests from virt-manager, now we've identified how their installer
can be booted under Xen.

Regards,
Dan.

[1] virt-manager requires a vmlinuz & initrd file for Xen kernel which is
    able to boot straight into the installer.
