We are working on it. The util-vserver package have build problems on some arches and before that is fixed I can not upload updated kernel patches. There are also some other issues as well but they are easier to fix. The other problem is that the development branch is about to change and debian will (hopefully soon) be released. I want a well tested vserver suite in Debian instead of a very fresh one with potential lot of problems.
