Vserver is relatively new on Debian and is not part of the stable distribution. It is only in testing and unstable for now. Those packages moved the /vservers directory to /var/lib/vservers in order to comply with the debian standards. You should be able to recompile the vserver .deb for stable by yourself.
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.
is there some documentation about the changes/usage for debian? maybe a short how-to for setup or anything?
there's a great script written by paul, along with an easy to understand description:
http://www.paul.sladen.org/vserver/debian/
I modified this script, adding support for installation on logical volume devices.
Running vserver on debian is as stable as it is on any other distribution. It is very comfortable to build
a new vserver with the newvserver-debian script from Paul Sladen and Mark Lawrence. You will have to edit it to suit your needs.
There is actually a script inside the package nowdays.
what about server unification, how was this solved? I would like to get some infos from somebody who actually runs a debian host/vserver combo, maybe with multiple similar vserver and unification?
I'm running a suse (physical server) / debian (virtual server) system as well as a debian/debian system.
is there a tool for debian packet unification? I don't think so. I thought unification is only working for rpm base vhosts (with the tools available so far).

If you want to install a system to let it run once it's installed, good security updates without much effort and
you do not need the latest software releases, then Debian's stable distribution is for you.
what about security updates in regard of unification? any comments/infos are welcome ...
for security updates you simply run a command which compares all installed debian packages and checks if there are any important security updates. any new packets will be updated immediately.
