Package: virtualbox-ose-source
Version: 3.0.8-dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/src/virtualbox-ose.tar.bz2

Hi,

subject says all. It would be nice if vbox had support for dkms so the
kernel modules are automatically built (for custom kernels).
The Ubuntu package has dkms support so you might want to leverage the
work they've already done.

Thanks for considering,
Michael
