If I remove all the useless stuff (.svn stuff that crept in, upstream
Changelog which for some reason had a number of changes, autotools
noise, debian patches that have been incorporated into upstream, NOOP
RCS header date changes, fedora yum repo gpg key change (unrelated to
debian) gentoo initscript changes (unrelated to debian), redhat initpost
changes (unrelated to debian), documentation changes
(doc/configuration.html, configuration-xhtml.xsl, configuration.xml),
redhat spec file changes (unrelated to debian) and the THANKS change,
leaves:
58 files changed, 189 insertions(+), 446 deletions(-)
Removing the 20+ trivial fixes of:
- - WRITE_MSG(2, " --help\" for more information.\n");
+ WRITE_MSG(2, " --help' for more information.\n");
Leaves 40 changes, 169 insertions(+), 426 deletions, not that much when
you consider a new kernel API is supported.

The reason for requesting this is to make etch+.5 transition smoother,
and as I understand it, a newer kernel is expected to be introduced in
etch+.5, and anything newer than 2.6.18 will break all vserver support.
Additionally, any user who installs a backported kernel, or a
hand-rolled one, will be unable to use vservers with 0.30.211-6.
