libvirt was compiled without Xen in Debian for some time because the
requisite Xen headers were missing.  However that should have been
fixed months ago.

Currently (libvirt 0.4.0-6) the logic is:

  ifneq (,$(findstring $(DEB_HOST_ARCH), i386 amd64))
    BUILD_XEN=--with-xen
    LDFLAGS += -lpthread
  else
    BUILD_XEN=--without-xen
  endif

because Xen itself is only ported to a subset of platforms.
