I attempted to make the requisite changes, but the package is quite out
of date since there haven't been build failures since 6.8 until the 6.17
HWE kernel for Noble. I looked through the upstream changelog and
noticed tons of 6.x compatibility patches that haven't been picked up,
so the DKMS package itself seems quite out of date.

To that end, it made more sense to me to backport the latest devel
version back to Noble. However, upstream virtualbox is now checking for
qt6 (at least version 6.8 at that). While Noble has version 6.4
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt6-wayland), modifying the check
to allow 6.4 leads to further compilation issues.

I think this requires further effort from virtualbox maintainers for the
time being.
