Yes, personally I do too.

But in this case I will need a generic tool to tar.gz hosts and then be 
able to move/install them as vserver clients as automatically as possible.

Any takers for a partly sponsored project? I can provide requirement 
specs in case someone is interested.
I would think such a tool could be of interest for the vserver project 
in general?
