Stock Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) doesn't require this, it runs libc6 2.11 
which doesn't depend on kernel version.
We have several Squeeze containers running happily on RHEL5 OpenVZ 
kernel without tweaks (however latest 089.1 stable ovz kernel is highly 
recommanded since it corrects some serious bugs).

I believe problem arose maybe because Hristo Benev had some 
testing/unstable packages installed before upgrading to Squeeze.
