LXC is solely based on mainline virtualization effords,
which have become a topic of interest in the last two
years ...
note that it still misses large parts required to create
and maintain a secure guest environment :)

in general, Linux-VServer uses mainline mechanisms
wherever appropriate and available, so Linux-VServer
will (hopefully) become smaller and smaller till only
userspace remains
what debian does or doesn't do does not really affect
Linux-VServer :)

I guess/hope that there is growing support for LXC,
but I doubt that there is for OpenVZ, as it will be
replaced by LXC (at some point) too ...
remeber, OpenVZ is the 'open source' spinoff of the
commerical product maintained by SWsoft/Parallels
