There is still one problem with the network interface. It seems that
"vserver ... build" (i.e. "ip addr add") uses netmask 255.255.255.255
and broadcast 0.0.0.0 by default, and that may have some consequences.

What about allowing additional arguments after a "--" argument and
handing them over directly to "vserver ... build"?

There are some initpre/initpost scripts for RedHat and Fedora vservers
in the util-vserver package. To include some scripts for Debian would
also enable people to build Debian vservers on other distros, at least
if the scripts don't presume a Debian host.
