Package: virtualbox-source
Version: 4.1.0-dfsg-1
Justification: renders package unusable
Severity: grave
Tags: patch

vboxpci is built using module-assistant, but it is not installed into
the generated package. So starting the kernel modules fails:


Done with /usr/src/virtualbox-modules-3.0.0-1-amd64_4.1.0-dfsg-1+3.0.0-1_amd64.d
