I have better than a document, I have code.  The autopkgtest-xenlvm
package has it.  I think a reasonably recent version of this is in
etch and feisty and I'm going to upload a new version to sid and gutsy
very shortly (tomorrow, probably).

I haven't tried it with the Debian's Xen setup - only Ubuntu's - so
there may be some difficulties but I'd be very happy to support you
with it.  There's a README that explains how it works.
