Sure, here it comes.

Patch attached for vzquota.

For vzctl I changed the following in the debian/rules install target:
	chmod 644 debian/vzctl/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-venet0
	rm -Rf debian/vzctl/vz

The first line is for correcting a permission misbehaviour, should it
be executable? If so add #!/bin/sh in the beginning of that file.

The second line is for removing /vz. I have added a documentation statement
in debian/README.Debian on how to recreate that directory.
