Summary0000140: almalinux-deploy: almalinux-deploy install unnecessary kernel packages in the Virtuozzo/OpenVZ container enviroments.
DescriptionIn the Virtuozzo/OpenVZ container enviroments, each container use host's kernel.
So kernel packages are not installed in the container.

But almalinux-deploy install kernel packages at the migration.
These packages are unnecessary and are not used.
# NOTE: The migration was successful, and AlmaLinux container works fine.

On the other hand, the migration tools of Rocky Linux and CentOS Stream doesn't install kernel packages in the Virtuozzo/OpenVZ container enviroments.

Unnecessary kernel packages cause a misunderstanding for users.
So I want you to fix this problem.
Steps To ReproduceRun almalinux-deploy in the Virtuozzo/OpenVZ container enviroments.

1. Check enviroment before migration

Hi. Thanks for report.
Right now almalinux-deploy detects only LXC containers, we're working on detection of others too.
