In answere to myself. :)

I tricked the xen source a bit by doing the following:

apt-get source xen-3.0
cd xen-3.0-3.0.2+hg9651
cp /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.16.tar.bz2 linux-2.6.16.tar.bz2
make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig             
cd linux-2.6.16-xen
make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --arch amd64 --subarch xen kernel-image

After fixing a small bug in make-kpkg [1] this build me a kernel-image
deb without further problems. Now I need to schedule a reboot to test
it.
