No, there is no formal howto, but somehow people manage to find out all
the details. It is probably not that hard, and there are two approaches:

(A)
Currently our template tools can use yum-enabled repositories, so the
way to go is:
1. Take yum-enabled repo (or create one from a bunch of RPMS using
createrepo).
2. Take one of the existing OS templates metadata and find out what is it.
3. Create a metadata for your OS template, based on the above.
4. Run vzpkgcache to create a template cache.

(B)
Alternative approach is just to install a set of packages into chrooted
environment (in RPM world you use 'rpm -i --root' for that, in Debian
world you use 'debootstrap'), then do some fine tuning and finally tar
this environment. The final tarball can be placed to /vz/template/cache
and used as a template. Basically, you need to install some basic stuff
- system libraries, init scripts, useful binaries etc.

It is not doubled. You can think of it as a bind mount (although it's a
bit more than that).
Private is a source for mount (i.e. what we mount), while root is a
mountpoint (i.e. where we mount it).
