isn't it better (simplier?) to patch non-vserver kernel with dummy 
structure (pad it) so that the struct size matches? i mean how many out 
there are that use non-dist kernel anyway, but it will make simpler to 
handle dependencies on orchestrated systems. now i have to decide based 
on kernel version which iptables version to install.

is this incompatibility tracked anywhere? bugtracker? mailinglist? is it 
planned to be solved?
