The namespace is created as one of the first steps of the process. The
vserver script executes itself within a new namespace before it has even
handed over control to the vserver.start script, and thus any such
scriptlets would have to be hacked into the main vserver script.

Also note that 0.30.211 does have an initialize script which is run
basically as soon as vserver.start is in control, but even then you're
in the guest's namespace.
