Hi!
While kernel 4.7 is only in earliest -rc and won't hit Debian in a while,
it'd be nice to update virtualbox-dkms for 4.7 changes. Your upload
frequency these days is pretty nice, so you may want include this in your
next regular upload for the benefit of people testing incoming kernels.
I've just submitted the patch upstream.
