I'm not an author of ovz, so I don't take part in this decidion.
But IMHO this is one of the classical cases where some GPL'ed 
project developed some library which actually should be LGPL'ed.

So my (insignificant) vote is: yes


BTW: it seems it could make sense to split off these libs to an 
own package. If the maintainers like to have that split, just 
let me know - I love those jobs ;-)
