debian already includes Linux-VServer to some extend,
so if you install the proper debian vserver kernel,
you will get an older but mostly working install ...

first, unless they changed something, you want to use
the following command:

 vserver vserver1 build \
        --context 666 \
        --hostname vserver1.test.org \
        --interface eth0:192.168.1.133/24 \
        -m debootstrap -- -d sarge

IIRC, there are kernel packages for RH/Fedora, Debian and Gentoo
and userspace tool packages for most known distros ...

note: personally I'm against binary kernel packages ... YMMV
