having the git i can easily extract one big monolitic patch.
as soon as the tree has catched up with upstream,
i'll add the openvz flavour to debian.

once the linux image 2.6.26 will be uploaded consecutive fixes
are preferred, also easily taken directly out of git.
once Lenny is stabilising we will be only allowed to add grave fixes.
and later the usual stable update rules apply.
