+virtualbox for Debian
+-------------------------
+
+The Debian virtualbox-guest-source package can be used in several ways,
+
+ - Using module-assistant(8) commands provided by the module-assistant Debian
+ package:
+
+ # module-assistant prepare virtualbox-guest
+ # module-assistant auto-install virtualbox-guest
+
+ - Using the make-kpkg(1) command provided by the kernel-package Debian
+ package. See the "modules_image" section of the make-kpkg(1) man page.
+
+ - Unpacking /usr/src/virtualbox-*.tar.bz2 and installing the module on your own.

+
+ - The way the device node is created is kind of ugly, but follows upstream's way.
+ http://blino.org/blog/mandriva/kernel/register_vboxadd_device.html suggest a
+ better way that might get integrated into the package later on.

+
+ - Starting with version 3.0.10 virtualbox can use dkms(8) to build the
+ modules automatically. If you prefer using dkms, please install
+ virtualbox-dkms instead.
