[owl-users] Owl OpenVZ template - strange network configuration

I normally use my own package for init scripts, so... my apologies for
late discovery.

root_at_vzhost01:~ # vzctl create 1000 --ostemplate owl-current-20120508-x86_64 --ipadd 172.31.255.0 --hostname ovz-test.lan
Creating container private area (owl-current-20120508-x86_64)
Performing postcreate actions
Container private area was created

root_at_vzhost01:~ # vzctl start 1000
Starting container ...
Container is mounted
Adding IP address(es): 172.31.255.0
Setting CPU units: 1000
Configure meminfo: 65536
Set hostname: ovz-test.lan
Container start in progress...

root_at_vzhost01:~ # vzctl enter 1000                                              
entered into CT 1000

root_at_ovz-test:/ # ip address

    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

    inet 127.0.0.1/24 scope host venet0
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    inet 172.31.255.0/32 scope global venet0:0
                                            ^^

For me it seems to be an ugly bug... And even worse, it looks like
our init scripts still use /* several kilobytes of curses skipped */
`ifconfig` instead of `ip` for configuring network devices.
