Stop using network-bridge , its there to construct and deconstruct a
bridge so that Xen itself is non destructive (no changing of network
init needed to install it).

Since you are doing the more production-sensible thing by letting Debian
handle your bridges in init, there's no need to be using network-bridge.
Better, more structured and sensible control over all of that is partly
achieved by how you construct your guests.

First thing to do, get rid of network-bridge

In /etc/xen/scripts/ do 

echo -e "#!/bin/sh\nexit 0" > network-dummy && chmod +x network-dummy

Then in /etc/xen/ change xend-config.sxp to call network-dummy instead
of network-bridge.

Secondly (just suggesting) : 

Specify vifname= in the vif [] containers in the guests to keep it all
nice and neat. If you name the vif after the domname (or something else
specific and meaningful), bandwidth accounting becomes *very* easy over
an entire farm, which sounds like it would also lend well to your setup.

Best,
