It's not a problem between   kernel <=> the module.
It's one between             the module <=> virtualbox.

The interface between these two has changed.  You can use the module just
fine if you have an old version of vbox -- just not the one in Lenny (nor
the one in Etch).

Akin to library transitions, all that is needed is a rebuild.  It may be a
good idea to add a Conflicts: virtualbox-ose (<1.6.6) -- I'm not sure if a
normal dependency would be the right thing for a kernel module.
