Hi!
I believe that if we can do something like that...:
echo "deb http://xen.org/debian stable xcp" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xcp.list
echo "deb-src http://xen.org/debian stable xcp" >>
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/xcp.list
aptitude update
aptitude install xen-cloud-platform # or via some tasksel to install XCP...
aptitude update ; aptitude dist-upgrade -y # To get the new version of the XCP
...will be awesome!
Don't you guys think?
I'm a BIG Debian fan, so, I'm a suspect to talk...
Cheers!

The idea of Xen Clout Platform is that it includes the full integrated platform that is tested as a whole:
- Linux distribution (CentOS)
- Dom0 kernel (2.6.27 based on SLES11 kernel-xen)
- Xen hypervisor (3.4.x)
- Management toolstack (xapi)
So if you change the distribution to Debian, then it would be kind of a different product :)
The choice of linux distribution (and for that matter dom0 kernel and xen version) is arbitrary, and just
happens to be what we test and develop on.
