Hi Frank,

All x86 Debian kernels are PAE.

 Should I still use pae and how could I get rid of pae packages?

If you're using x86 (and not x86_64) then you need the PAE
hypervisor.

You could compile a custom kernel that is not PAE, and then use the
non-PAE hypervisor, but that sounds like a lot of effort for not
very much gain.

 Also by default no xen header files are installed. Are they optional or 
 what for xen uses it?

What header files do you need exactly?

Cheers,
Andy
