This approach was provided by Karl Chen in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=511771. I'm not
familiar with these virtualisation systems so I probably didn't even
realise that vserver and OpenVZ weren't the same thing.

Can you provide an authoritative way to detect that we're in a vserver
container, preferably with a reference?

I CCed the dpkg guys on another similar bug today. It's certainly
