If you like libvirt so much, i.e. virt-install as core tool for PV
DomU installation and
pygrub to load PV DomU in post-installation phase, then how you
intend to install paravirtualized Debian with custom kernel without
debootstrap integrated into system. Any Ubuntu PV guest will be
affected in same way. Ubuntu 8.10,9.04,9.10 Servers ISO images are
completely useless for virt-install, rather then to create HVM DomUs
and try to utilize image devices for PV guest load, what is not
approved method for Debian PV guests install vs debootstrap.
View for instance :-

I use the same process for real servers and VMs. The server boots on a
custom nfsroot and runs automatically the install script. I don't use
virt-install but I use virsh with a custom XML description of the
server.
1. create the XML description of the VM
2. load it with "virsh loadxml ..."
3. boot the VM (nfsroot + install)
4. modify the XML description so the VM boots on its disk
5. reboot the VM.
That works well with Debian.
