  (I've never done anything locale-related).

  You should find, with the new version of the xen-tools package, that
 you have the file hooks/debian/90-make-fstab.

  That contains this code:


cat <<E_O_FSTAB > ${prefix}/etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
devpts          /dev/pts        devpts  rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620 0  0
E_O_FSTAB

  That should mean that any debian-guest you install will always have
 /dev/pts being mounted.

  Could you check that you have the file "90-make-fstab" and that
 it contains those contents?

  I assume there will be one of two failures:

    1.  The /etc/fstab entry is not present.
    2.  The node in /dev is not created.

  If the latter I'd suggest ensuring udev is installed.
