[vbox-dev] Ubuntu package for headless installation

[Dominik Springer]

Hi!

For VirtualBox headless usage, libs for qt, x and sdl are not required. Anyway
latest Virtualbox package for Ubuntu has those in its dependency list.
Dependencies are handled very strict by the package management system and I see
no option to ignore dependencies during installation. Would it be an option to
have another package for headless setup with different dependencies? 

Suggestions and comments welcome!
