I guess the question would be "why do you want xs-tools on the system vm"? Other than xs tools, Debian wheezy should work just fine on XS 6.1
As a point of reference, Debian squeeze wasn't supported on XS 5.6 (the first release on which the "old" system vm was deployed) either and worked just fine. Wheezy was GA just a month ago, XS 6.1 was GA over 6 months ago, so it isn't surprising.
