actually also sarge would largely benefit from a stable
linux-vserver version (maybe introduced as bugfix?)

two letter acronym misinterpretation can always happen,
even if I call it 'xy' and vserver folks by now _know_
that we have the following schema:
patch-<base>-XY<vers>-<extra>.diff
... for patches which apply to <base>
diff-<version-a>-<version-b>.diff
... for changes between versions
delta-<what>-<type><version>.diff
... for fixes, changes, addons ...
and XY was always 'vs' for linux-vserver since a long
time now ... so, sorry, but I don#t see a good reason
to change it now ...
best,
