@sil2100 thanks!

>I am for now not accepting the virtualbox-ext-pack for artful as I
first would like to get confirmation about something: looking at the
debian/control and debian/rules version variables, those seem to be
using the 5.1.32 version string while the package itself is versioned as
5.1.34. Is that a mistake? Or is that intentional?

it is an useless variable. we use DEB_VERSION_UPSTREAM and not that
variable to compute runtime dependencies.

that variable is used only to create a new fake tarball, just to import-orig 
--pristine-tar it
VERSION=5.1.32
tarball:
        mkdir virtualbox-ext-pack_$(VERSION)
        tar cJvf virtualbox-ext-pack_$(VERSION).orig.tar.xz 
virtualbox-ext-pack_$(VERSION)
        rm -rf virtualbox-ext-pack_$(VERSION)
        mv virtualbox-ext-pack_$(VERSION).orig.tar.xz ..


so, I can bump it, or you can accept the current one, the resulting deb will be 
just the same!
let me know if you want to reject and I'll quickly reupload
