[Debian] openvz kernel for debian squeeze

[Kir Kolyshkin]

Hi Ola, guys,

Thanks for the info. We have discussed this at length and
the resolution is we are all for it. This means we will try
hard to do a rebase as soon as possible, and I hope we
will succeed.

If (or whenever you will) know the exact deadline date
(or any close approximation), please let us know, this is
important.

Also, can you please point us to the location of the git
repository of what will become the linux kernel for the
next debian release? I checked git.debian.org but
where there are too many kernels to look at.
If it is not in git then when it is?

Regards,
   Kir.
