Actually, three tickets could be solved by this as well:

#5522: newer VirtualBox
#5509: fix VirtualBox modules build for 486
#5779: wheezy: get config-chroot local-hooks-50-virtualbox back

In the end, that's related to the type of CPU declared on the guest.
With a guest declared as 64bit the display does not resize, with a guest
declared as 32bit it does. But don't ask me why!

I'm not sure this can be improved upon...

The clipboard works as authorized by the host.

So please, dear release manager, have a look.
