Hi, From my point of view, the situation regarding vserver is the following:
1) Regarding the vserver patch for the Linux kernel: - The latest LTS Kernel (3.18) is already supported [1]. This is usually what you want to use in production (LTS). - There is already a beta patch for Linux 4.1 [2]. And there will be patches for 4.2 and newer kernels ASAP. - So my conclusion is that development of the patchset keeps going. A bit slow, but steady. 2) Regarding the util-vserver package, I'm going to update it to the last version from upstream in the next days. And I'm plan to keep maintaining it for the foreseeable future. 3) Regarding the vserver-debiantools package: I don't use it, but maybe there are still some users of it? So... my suggestion is to keep it within Debian (of course if there aren't any serious bug with it). I think the users of this utility will appreciate that you keep the package on Debian meanwhile it works. So, I don't see any compelling reason to request the removal of util-vserver.
