[Users] OpenVZ kernel RPM name

Hi,

Yet another mail. The official openvz kernel RPMs are named in such a way 
that it causes problems. Tools like yum and apt make a special case about 
kernel RPM files because multiple of these can be installed next to each 
other.

Because OpenVZ name their kernel ovzkernel, this is not possible. Can we 
change the name of the OpenVZ kernel package from:

	ovzkernel-2.6.9-023stab030.1-smp
to:
	kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.0.3.ovz.1

This would make it more clear to people what it is based on and would make 
apt and yum work with those kernels by default.

Kind regards,
