That's right, OpenVZ will not be in wheezy. The Debian kernel team generally tries to avoid adding features without upstream support, and the OpenVZ project has not had the resources to support stable kernel branches other than one based on RHEL (I think bug #655385 illustrates the problem - and note that the fix for that is pending!). I would expect that OpenVZ's own kernel packages based on RHEL will be usable with a squeeze or wheezy userland.
