That's curious.  These files are generated by openssh-server while
installing RPM into the vztree root:

Don't you have ssh server RPM installed into vztree or do you manually
delete ssh RPM?  If former, please show your "make installvztree"
log.  If latter, tell why :)

I suppose it is a bug.  We don't want to have additional dependencies,
especially when they don't make sense for us (like this one).

Thank you for the report,
