I don't think this is possible. To be able to create VMs, you need to be
root in the dom0. Same for manipulating devices (eg: nic, partitions,
etc.). So, would you propose to do it?

Also, this is more a wishlist that upstreams implements it. I believe
you'd better off discussing directly with Mike from Citrix than filling
a bug in the debian BTS.

Your thoughts?
