Hello Kir,

that's easy to explain, in debian kernel-patch-openvz package exist a 
patch for an vanilla linux kernel 2.6.16, too.

[...]
2.6.18 -> /usr/src/kernel-patches/diffs/openvz/diff-ovz-028.18-deb.gz
2.6.16 -> /usr/src/kernel-patches/diffs/openvz/patch-026test015-combined.gz

so when applied the patch to kernel tree, make-kpkg choose the right 
patch, depends on which kernel tree is used.

Regards,
  Thorsten
