i can't speak to ubuntu, but for debian guests the
script /usr/lib/util-vserver/distributions/debian/initpost contains:

<quote>

pushd etc/init.d &>/dev/null
for i in *; do
    case "$i" in
      (sysklogd|syslog-ng|rsyslog|dsyslog)
        ;;
      (README|skeleton|sendsigs|single|rc|rc.local|rcS)
        ;;
      ($have_halt)
        ;;
      (*)
        $_VSERVER "$NAME" exec update-rc.d -f "$i" remove
        ;;
    esac
done
popd &>/dev/null

</quote>

which removes all init scripts within /etc/init.d (and their corresponding
runlevel symlinks) from a base install except for the syslog daemon and a
few specific others.

/usr/lib/util-vserver/vserver-build.debootstrap calls $BUILD_INITPOST and
that is set to the distribution-specific initpost
by /usr/lib/util-vserver/vserver-build.functions (or so it appears from my
quick perusal of the code).

there doesn't appear to be an initpost script specific to any of the ubuntu
releases in my util-vserver package from lenny, but this might be different
for the ubuntu package. (i have a few ubuntu hardy desktops/laptops but i
use pbuilder, not vserver, to build packages for them.)
