I tried to use these packages by installing them on my home machine,
which currently runs Debian unstable updated everyday.
First of all, I should say that after downloading
xen-linux-system-2.6.26-1-xen-686_2.6.26-6_i386.deb,
linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686_2.6.26-6_i386.deb and
linux-modules-2.6.26-1-xen-686_2.6.26-6_i386.deb I checked their
sha1sums and they matched the ones you listed above.
Here's what I got while trying to install them :

It seems the problem is that xen-linux-system-2.6.26-1-xen-686
depends on xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-i386-pae | xen-hypervisor-3.1-1-i386-pae
but unstable doesn't have these packages. Unstable has only
xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-i386 and it doesn't provide
xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-i386-pae.
Actually, I don't know if xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-i386 should provide
xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-i386-pae or not, I'm just reporting this. I know
that there were some changes regarding PAE support on Xen upstream, but
I don't know how it reflected on Xen packaging on Debian.
Anyway, I tried booting the dom0 provided by your
linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686_2.6.26-6_i386.deb package and the machine
actually came up. I couldn't install any tool for creating VM later
(xen-tools, virtinst, virt-manager, etc) as the package dependency
systems were all trying to "fix" my system after the problem left by the
error reported earlier on this message when installing these packages.
I had no more time left to use this machine as a testbed so I
rebooted on my usual 2.6.26-1-686 (non-Xen) kernel again to get some
work done.
However, I noticed the Xen kernel giving some WARNINGs when i booted
it and later asking me to install a "xen-friendly" version of
glibc/libc6 or moving my /lib/tls to /lib/tls.disabled unless I wanted
to my system to become slow.
Actually, I installed libc6-xen and I have no /lib/tls so I don't
know what could me done to fix this situation. I'm attaching (gziped)
the dmesg from dom0, which shows all the warnings and the message about
the "xen-friendly" libc.
What I noticed, as the boot message said, was that the system became
really slow after I booted the Xen kernel. Running aptitude took two or
three times more time than running it under a non Xen-enabled kernel,
for example.
I don't know if it was some mistake I did (probably), but it would be
nice if you could tell me if I should have done my testing in any other
way. I'll probably have a QuadCore machine at work which I could test it
in the next two or three days, so I woul be glad to test it there.
