daniel_hozac found there's a saner path forward than the redundantly named
directory heirarcy (see irc logs for 11/26), but it'll still require a path
change (/usr/lib/util-vserver/util-vserver
-> /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/util-vserver), though it gains multiarch support
(ok, maybe that's not that useful, but i'm trying to find the silver lining
here).  probably the best way to handle the immediately needed change
to /proc/sys/kernel/vshelper (after package update) is through a postinst
script (see irc logs for 11/27).  i don't know enough about debian packaging
(i can build and backport, but not create) to write the needed postinst (eg
the path to vshelper is build dependent, so the postinst will have to be
generated/modified at build time), but maybe somebody else does.

i'm too lazy to look (as i don't use your repo), but do you make your .config
available (apart from maybe linux-image/linux-headers packages) as i'm
curious how it compares to what i'm using?
