Installing from debian-wheezy-DI-b1-amd64-i386-netinst.iso in a Xen
guest I get:
┌─┌────────────────┤ [!!] Configure the package manager ├────────────────┐┐

Looking in /var/log/syslog I see:

/var/lib/apt doesn't seem to exist in the installer environment.
But /target/var/lib/apt does so I guess this refers to that:
~ # ls /target/var/lib/apt -l

This doesn't seem to be anything Xen specific here.
