I had the same procedure and ended up with Etch and building the kernel and 
utils from source Xen 3.1.1.
Because 3.1.1 version has some improvements over version 3.0.4 for etch.

Lenny is nice the new xen utils are included but there is no xen kernel 
image for it. So you have to build it your self. That why i deciced to go for 2
