now Etch is frozen, so no new versions is accepted, only bugfixes ...
so Etch will be released with 2.6.18 ...

anyway vs2.2 for 2.6.18 is very old too: 04-Dec-2006 06:19 ;-)
http://ftp.linux-vserver.org/pub/kernel/vs2.2/testing/patch-2.6.18.5-vs2.2.0-pre5.diff
and
The latest prepatch version of the stable Linux-VServer patch is: vs2.0.3-rc1
http://linux-vserver.org/ChangeLog-2.0
so only small difference between vs2.0.3-rc1 and vs2.0.2.2-rc9

so stable vserver patch with next stable Debian release will be fine for
long time on many servers ... so anyone can use only apt-get to install
vserver utils and kernel:

apt-get install linux-image-vserver-686 util-vserver vserver-debiantools

if someone want newer versions, then he can use The latest prepatch version
of the upcoming stable Linux-VServer patch for 2.6.19 or 2.6.20 with
vanilla kernel ...
