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.
