Package: virtualbox-ose Version: 2.1.0-dfsg-1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 4.2
Backporting the current experimental virtualbox-ose package to Lenny fails with a complaint that kbuild needs to be updated. While it is not required for packages to support backports, it _is_ required that the build-dependencies declared are correct and complete. I did not investigate exactly which version of kbuild satisfies this newer version of virtualbox-ose. The simple approach is to just build- depend on at least the version currently in Sid. A much better approach, however, is to figure out the exact upstream minimal required version, and then declare at least that version - with "~" added at the end to allow also backports of that exact version.
