..the problem I see, is vzctl is failing to start up on installing and
upgrading.  Does it at all _need_ to start up to install correctly???

..if not, it shouldn't try, the installer should check first, before
deciding to start up.

..on upgrading a box with vz running, you can assume vz is expected 
to run on the box after the upgrade is done.  Set a flag file in
/vaƄr/tmp or somewhere from /var/lib/dpkg/info/vzctl.prerm.

..if vz isn't running, like on my box, that fact is not neccessarily a
problem, I install a _lot_ of junk to help spot conflicts and RTFM's,
and I like to keep all services "as is" on upgrades, rather than keep
mowing links outta /etc/rc2.d/.   

..that too can be checked; dpkg -L vzctl or somesuch against whatever
you have in your vzctl*.deb.

..dunno, how do I find out?
