You could do a fully virtualised install using virt-manager very easily.  You 
should be able covert to a PV install later, if you want.

Alternatively, you can build an ext3 filesystem for the guest manually (inside 
and image or partition).  You can then use the debootstrap tool to build a 
Debian/Ubuntu filesystem inside that.

Cheers,
Mark
