Hi Jim
You simply write a mail to submit at bugs.debian.org
In the begiggning of the mail, before anything else, you write:
Package: kernel-patch-openvz
Severity: important
And then you describe the fault. It is as simple as that. :)

Not good. Please file a separate bug about that. I would like to know what
you did when the kernel crashed, so I can debug the problem further.

That would be good.

With the above explanation I assume that you can write one on your own. :)
In the meantime I have looked through the VZ patch and have not found
anything obvious that explains your hostname problem. It seems like all the
places where system_utsname has really been replaced with utsname() and
the utsname() function is identical with the original vz patch.
So it is likely something else. However the patch is huge so I may have
made a couple of mistakes.
