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.

The following works fine for me...

   virt-install -n debian -r 1024  -p --nographics -f 
/dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/xvm/debian  -l
