Not important to your problem.

If you look at a listing from '/bin/ps a -HA' (threaded child process
display), you will see that getty is no longer in control of your login
console. 'login' is, with a child process for your login shell. So long as
you don't log out, 'co' can respawn to it's heart's content :-) It's after
you log out, that the getty can't be reestablished, and so control can't be
passed back to 'login'. (The fact that you can login at all tells me
that /dev/xvc0 does exist, at least for the initial login. What happens after
that is a mystery.)
My guess is since you can't find 'agetty', that 'getty' is a less stable
substitute. (That, and the instability of xvc0 itself.) I'm going to chalk
this up to problems with 2.6.18, and you may have to live with it. (That is,
don't log out after the initial login in 'xm create -c'.)
With 'yum', you can do slick things like say 'yum install /sbin/agetty', and
it will find the package that contains that program. Don't know if there are
any 'apt' tools that can do the same.

This is telling Debian to boot into multiuser mode w/o nfs or X11. You might
want to change that '2' to '5', tho' I'm sure that Debian is doing an 'init
5' somewhere along the way if you are getting vnc access now. (Just an
interesting aside.)
