After reading this I asked Herbert (who is upstream for vserver) if newvserver 
shouldnt be shipped as part of lenny and his reply was, that it's so broken & 
unmaintained, that it should have been removed three years ago. Yet it is 
still included in the vserver-debiantools package in lenny.

Please remove at least newvserver from vserver-debiantools.

According to apt-file, vserver-debiantools in lenny contains nthe following
files:

vserver-debiantools: /etc/vservers/newvserver-vars
vserver-debiantools: /usr/sbin/dupvserver
vserver-debiantools: /usr/sbin/newnfsvserver
vserver-debiantools: /usr/sbin/newvserver
vserver-debiantools: /usr/sbin/stripserver
vserver-debiantools: /usr/share/doc/vserver-debiantools/README
vserver-debiantools: /usr/share/doc/vserver-debiantools/changelog.gz
vserver-debiantools: /usr/share/doc/vserver-debiantools/copyright
vserver-debiantools: /usr/share/man/man1/dupvserver.1.gz
vserver-debiantools: /usr/share/man/man1/newnfsvserver.1.gz
vserver-debiantools: /usr/share/man/man1/newvserver.1.gz
vserver-debiantools: /usr/share/man/man1/stripserver.1.gz

I wonder if the others are up2date and useful - I'm just using the stuff from
util-vserver and never used vserver-debiantools. Herbert?
