i do not use the debian version ,  i use the  debian rules included in 
the util-vserver source to build debian packages :)

do you know a way to debug this ?

because having old tools with new kernel break the isolation you cannot 
use old tools with new kernel, only old kernel with new tools. If you do 
then most of the time the guest loose part of their isolations and your 
host become vulnerable. Building it is not the issue but rebooting with 
the new kernel and the old tool will break.
