Owl OpenVZ template - strange network configuration

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

root@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@vzhost01:~ # vzctl start 1000
Starting container ...
Container is mounted

Container start in progress...

root@vzhost01:~ # vzctl enter 1000                                              
entered into CT 1000

root@ovz-test:/ # ip address

    link/void 
    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.
