Hopefully never.  3.0.2 (+some extras from hg mainline) is now in Debian

Sorry, I *was* a bit vague on the "appropriately patched kernels are
available" bit, wasn't I?

Xen kernels are now built along with the myriad of other flavours of kernel
in the standard Debian kernel package.  Thus, you can just (for instance)
run

apt-get install linux-image-2.6-xen-amd64-k8 linux-modules-2.6-xen-amd64-k8

(as I did several times over the course of yesterday) and have your
up-to-date Xen kernel installed.  You use that kernel for both your dom0 and
domU (never done it before, but it worked fine).
I have tried to install the xen-k7-kernel on Debian unstable, but I cannot boot it. It panics with an error about unable to mount root fs.
My setup is as simple as possible with 1 partition, ext3 and no LVM.

/boot/grub/menu.lst is
title      Xen
root     (hd0,0)
kernel   /boot/xen-3.0-i386.gz  dom0_men=256M
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1-xen-k7 root=/dev/hda1 ro
