I've read through the debian bug report and it seems to
be filled with misconceptions and misinformation, but
nevertheless, some basic information could be extracted.

Here is some information from the Linux-VServer side:
- Uptime in a Linux-VServer guest can be virtualized.
This is done by keeping a record when the guest
started and subtracting this start time from all
time values presented to processes inside the
guest.
- Depending on the kernel and the guest config, this
virtualization can be present/enabled or not present
or just disabled.
- Chances are good, that the kernel/patch used on this
system has incomplete virtualization in this regard
which gives odd results.
- Nothing can be done from inside the guest to fix
this problem or enable this kind of virtualization.
Changes have to be made on the host.
Hope that clarifies,
Herbert
