Thanks a lot, I hope some Debian/Ubuntu users will install this.

For bash_completion, why don't you use something like
     make DESTDIR='$(INSTALL_DIR)' install-bashcomp
from debian/rules?

Same for other install targets.
For bin location, you can use REPDIR=/usr/share/vzstats/
(you still need to fix vzstats man page and script)

In fact let me try to have REPDIR configurable...
