Well, if there's a workable upgrade script then we could run that in our
post-inst and not have to ship the legacy tools. It's a thought anyway,
but it's up to the Debian maintainer if he wants to expend that effort
or not.

Sure, but you can't do that in the Debian util-vserver package. :) Can't
touch other package config files. That's one of the reasons why I think
it shouldn't be the Debian's packages problem- let the user handle it,
it's not that big of a deal...

Again, a Debian util-vserver package couldn't do that due to sane policy
issues. It'd be nice if we didn't have to worry about it because the
kernel/vserver patch took care of it, but otherwise I think the user can
handle it and maybe we could have some stuff in README.Debian about it.
