The problem with linux-image-vserver-3.18-beng and wheezy is not related
with an outdated util-vserver package. With the 0.30.216-pre3062-1 version
in your repo.psand.net repository it doesn't boot either.
It seems that the udev version in wheezy depends on a legacy feature
that has not been compiled in linux-image-vserver-3.18-beng
The symptom is that the root filesystem is not found and the system
drops to the busybox prompt. But the keyboard is not functional either and
you can't do anything but press the hardware reset switch.
