If the Debian provided config file is not valid for the running kernel, then 
the packaging is buggy. 

The test the NVidia installer is using is to include <linux/autoconf.h>, then 
uses an #ifdef to see if CONFIG_XEN is defined. If CONFIG_XEN is defined, it 
fails. The other test being used is to grep the .config file for CONFIG_XEN=Y.

So I point out, the 2 methods they use seem to be valid tests. The 
/boot/config-2.6.25-2-686 file and the 
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.25-2-686/.config file have CONFIG_XEN=y. So is the 
headers package broken, and the kernel package including the wrong header, or 
is it just that the package was misconfigured.

I am very open to how I might test for XEN in the kernel. I will even reboot to 
get that data for you.
