OpenVZ Debian-packages from debian.systs.org seem to be compiled so that
they use /var/lib/vz as the vz-root instead of /vz -- AFAIK for better
FHS-compliance.

The documentation is quite RH-specific, although the poll at
http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=50 shows that Debian-based
distributions are the preferred choice of OpenVZ-users. ;)

You can just do a symlink /vz pointing to /var/lib/vz if you want;
however there is no reason why you should need it, just use /var/lib/vz
whenever the documentation refers to /vz.
