I advice maintainers for fast and easy improve hvm domUs support on xen 
debian packages when the xen 4.4 will be packaged to specifying seabios 
and qemu binary of debian packages from configure, see these patches for 
details:
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commit;h=5c7cbadaccca8dbb47f2c42ab1b5a8afac9275e3
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commit;h=906677d6411c3dc579e07967d0137a12392ff314
Already tested and working with debian packages of qemu and seabios.
Also the use of new ./configure ... --enable-qemu-traditional=no can be 
useful to disable qemu traditional without debian patches.
Is possible to specify ovmf binary for experimental uefi hvm support:
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commit;h=6b2029c9a1f6b4cd7585fd537d45233f8dde14b7
but in that case ovmf package should be updated at least to commit 
447d264115c476142f884af0be287622cd244423 for good xen support.
Probably can be good also to put qemu-system-x86 package as dependency 
instead of recommended.
