Hello,
I will answer your questions, but, please, you should also answer my questions! So I repeat the main questions: what kernel do you use? Have you compiled it yourself?
Answers on your questions:
- Can you still ssh to the VPS?
No, because sshd doesn't work, because /dev/random is missing, because udev is working and it deletes this device node by default 
- Can you open an X session to the VPS?
I haven't tried
- Can you still vzctl enter the VPS (vzctl exec works fine here too)
Definitely, I can it!
- Were all of >1500 missing entries useless? No tty, no pty left.
Most of them were useless. Instead pty ptmx/pts bunch is used. But I see that on your node there is no ptmx, so udev didn't create it. why? I suspect the kernel with a bit unappropriate configuration. Because of it I'm asking you about your kernel!
I know, that the problem is in missing devnodes. But for different distributions it should be solved differently. There is no vzdev for debian, so lets investigate it and find a workaround. I have ideas, but, please, answer my questions.
Thanks,
Vasily
