[Debian] Inconsistencies with http://download.openvz.org/debian/?

Wed Oct 8 12:14:47 PDT 2014

Hi Nikolaus and Kir

Nikolaus:
I think these links are created by the kernel build scripts that
debian provides.
Do you want me to file a bug report for this? You can easily do it on
bugzilla.openvz.org. It is probably better if you do it yourself so
the person that will be assigned to the report can contact you.

Kir:
I think I will hand over this issue to you. Let me know if you want
help from me regarding this.

Regards,

// Ola
