Lucian, You were spot on. It is not supported. I've done similar to your work around by giving a init.d script.
I've upload a automated system using packer for generating a OVA of a debian x64 template to github https://github.com/imduffy15/cloudstack-templates I included a built version of the template for xenserver to save somebody time in the future. https://github.com/imduffy15/cloudstack-templates/releases If people are interested I might build this out to generate KVM, Xen, HyperV and vSphere images and add CentOS and Ubuntu.
