Where can I download a script to deploy Citrix Xenserver 6.5 from Debian CD?

There is a server that can either install 1 of the distributions provided, or boot from resqueCD (no idea what it's based on)
Once one of the hosts had a script that allows you to deploy Citrix XenServer 6.5 on top of a Debian installation.
The question is, does anyone have something similar, or experience to describe in a few words

Back in the days of Citrix Xenserver 6.5 and Debian 8, it was like this...
Steps:
- Installing Debian 8.2
- Preparing the web server for PXE
- Preparing the PXE bootloader
- Installing Citrix XenServer
Preparing files:

#> cd /tmp
#> mkdir -p iso
#> mkdir -p www 
#> wget http://downloadns.citrix.com.edgesuite.net/10175/XenServer-6.5.0-xenserver.org-install-cd.iso -O xen.iso
#> mount -o loop xen.iso iso
#> cp -a iso/* www
#> cd www

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<installation srtype="lvm">
<primary-disk>sda</primary-disk>
<keymap>us</keymap>
<root-password>PASSWORD</root-password>
<source type ="url">http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/</source>
<admin-interface name="eth0" proto="dhcp" />
<nameserver>8.8.8.8</nameserver>
<timezone>Europe/London</timezone>
</installation>

Preparing files:
#> cd /boot
#> wget http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/install.img
#> wget http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/vmlinuz
#> wget http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/xen.gz

...

It is not possible to install Citrix XenServer over Debian GNU/Linux. Because XenServer is RH-based. Perhaps the installation of XCP was done.
