Unfortunately you are right - the kernel maintainers don't test every
kernel flavour that is built.  Also, we don't currently have anyone
specifically looking after the kernel for powerpc.

The vserver patch used in 'squeeze' is missing the change that makes the
vserver() system call work on powerpc.  The fix should be fairly simple
and should be included in the next stable update for the linux-2.6
package, which will be available shortly.
