If you want precompiled you can find them on http://debian.opal.dhs.org/. I usually place the backported version there when I upload a new version to unstable. The move from /vservers to /var/lib/vservers was to comply with LSB which RedHat and others wants to comply to as well. The neat thing is that you can configure the location in /etc/vserver.conf. > Since the vserver-0.22, everything seems to work fine. Earlier releases of vserver > had some problems > with Debian.
