Well, there is no openVZ-kernel in Debian that I'm aware of. If there was one, I would prefer that. So the second best option is to use kernel-package to built my custom kernels whenever necessary. To me it's out of question to install a kernel in a way that's not handled by dpkg. Kernel-package just handles many things too nicely. Another reason against a non-debian-precompiled kernel is that the system I'm setting up is supposed to run for quite a long time on etch. So we don't want the openVZ-project to move on to newer kernel-versions that might be incompatible to some parts of etch (for whatever reason). I had trouble with later versions in the past after using a vanilla-kernel in another project. My hope is that the etch-sources continue to get patches from security for quite a while, so we never run out of compatible kernels.
