[Users] OpenVZ templates

[Pavel Odintsov]

Hello!

Nice feedback folks! Completely agree ;)

Will be fine to build some sort of official templates for Debian
without any proprietary parts with debootstrap ;)

It is basically a yum statement with a specified install directory... and then a few minor changes to the directory tree post install.  While I'm not as knowledgeable with Debian and Ubuntu... I did cobble together a Debian 8 OS Template recipe although I'm sure it leaves a bit to be desired.  Luckily building OS Templates is fairly easy... but yeah, it would be nice if it was better documented on the wiki.
