so basicaly it seems that the protection to prevent you from installing
the wrong package for your path is more a problem than a solution.
I will perhaps make a test like this instead:
if /vservers exist create a temporary file tmpxxx in it then check the
inode of it to see if /var/lib/vservers/tmpxxx is the same one. This
should detect links and bind mounts and allow the package to be installed.
i think we still need to have a safe guard against installing the
packages when they do not fit the directories used by the user.
