OK, that sounds good. If possible, it would be great if this approach
could also be followed for the next release available from
http://download.virtualbox.org/

BTW, a workaround is to manipulate the package control file
before installation of the binary package. A very convenient script
to do that is available from: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636724


BR & thanks for your reply
