The question is a touch unclear, but I presume you're asking if we support running RHEL5 as a domU under a Debian dom0. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, no, there's no way we can officially support that setup.
I want to re-enforce the "it should work" - I've got CentOS4 DomUs running in production (with the jbaron kernels- if you do this now, you should probably use the 4.5-BETA kernels instead... really, I should upgrade.) under a Debian Dom0; it works fine. I've got CentOS5 DomUs running under debian Dom0s as well (though at the moment my only 5 DomUs are still in the lab; they seem to be working fairly well, so I will be releasing them to the wild shortly)
Of course, RedHat won't officially help me if it breaks; but I've had pretty good luck with the "unofficial" support around here (and the xen-users mailing list.)
In fact, I've been using RHEL and RHEL-alikes a lot more this past year, and my opinion of RedHat has risen considerably. I'm in a place right now where I get to experience both the free and for pay support, and you know? Red Hat seems pretty good in both categories.
The XenU/Xen0 versioning problems have gotten much less bad after 3.0.3. In most cases, so long as both your Dom0 and DomU are 3.0.3 or later, you are okay. Before 3.0.3, I had quite a few problems with out of sync DomU and Dom0 kernels. For 3.0.1 and .2 systems, I found it much easier to just let the DomU and Dom0 use the same kernel and avoid the whole mess.
