Package: virtualbox Version: 4.3.10-dfsg-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
The current virtualbox debian package does not ship /etc/init.d/vboxautostart-service , which allows to start VMs at system boot. Without this init script, the procedure described at https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#autostart does not work. (no virtual machines are started during boot process) I've manually installed the script from https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Installer/linux/vboxautostart-service.sh?format=raw and it is fully working, without modifications. Could you include this init script in the Debian package?
