You should just use Squeeze (which is frozen now so on it's way to
being the new stable). It works well simply by installing the
xen-linux-system and xen-qemu-dm packages. It includes pciback.

If you are so far into setup now that you want to stick with it, you
could try the linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 kernel from the debian
repos.
