for Debian: (5/6/7)
  virtualbox-4.1_4.1.14-77440~Debian~lenny_amd64.deb

  virtualbox-4.1_4.1.14-77440~Debian~wheezy_amd64.deb

for openSUSE:
  VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.14_77440_openSUSE114-1.x86_64.rpm
26-Apr-2012 02:00    57M
for RHEL:
  VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.14_77440_rhel5-1.x86_64.rpm
26-Apr-2012 02:00    75M
  VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.14_77440_rhel6-1.x86_64.rpm
26-Apr-2012 02:00    62M

What's the reason, that packages for Debian 6.0 and 7.0 take 10 MB
more space than RHEL 6 or openSUSE 11.4 ?
Debian 6.0 and 7.0 have pretty much all the dependencies required,
including the big one, libQt4-v4.6.3 (in Debian 6.0).
