Hi Holger and Herbert Now I'm a bit puzzled. I'm still maintaining newvserver as I'm the maintainer of the vserver-debiantool package. The newvserver tool is quite far from what it once was as I have changed it rather lot of times.
What it basically is nowdays is a wrapper around the vserver build command. Have you seen a specific problem with it, because from what I know the tool still work fine and can install lenny. I maintain it because I liked the simplicity of the newvserver syntax and it also has a few features added to it to speed up installation process of many vservers. However if you can see a major problem with the tool, please tell me about it.
