Thanks to the both of you Daniel and Herbert.

Not specifying -d debian makes sense.

Herbert: There is actually no debian directory in /etc/vservers/.distributions/ and
.common has no
scripts. Do you mean to override the default post-install scripts by simply setting
up a debian
directory?

Best regards,

Lars
