Ok but I am going through libvirt instead of xenapi since I am just using a 
debian + xen-hypervisor package.

Also going through libvirt seems to be better, since it doesn't make your setup 
as "strongly" connected to xen.

For those using the following in debian/ubunbu would the usage of the xenapi 
still work?

ii  libxenstore3.0                       4.0.1-2                           
Xenstore communications library for Xen
ii  linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64       2.6.32-35                         
Linux 2.6.32 for 64-bit PCs, Xen dom0 support
ii  xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64             4.0.1-2                           The 
Xen Hypervisor on AMD64
ii  xen-qemu-dm-4.0                      4.0.1-2                           Xen 
Qemu Device Model virtual machine hardware emulator
ii  xen-utils-4.0                        4.0.1-2                           XEN 
administrative tools
ii  xen-utils-common                     4.0.0-1                           XEN 
administrative tools - common files
ii  xenstore-utils                       4.0.1-2                           
Xenstore utilities for Xen

Since I thought xenserver was a separate product?

It looks like it was maverick, you can find a lot of good info here on xen,if 
you're not using this already:

I believe the work around Vish is referring to is made in nova.conf:
--xenapi_remap_vbd_dev=true

Give that a go, hopefully gets you on your way!
