Seems like a find replace and removing the _ (underscore) from _OSE
does the trick. Not pretty but it does prove the fact that the newer
dpkg just does not like the _ (underscore) in the version name
VBOX_OSE. It might work with a - (hyphen) but it does not like a
~(tilde) at all. Complains a lot about blank space in macro.

So far I know it has to do with the illegal character and the fact
that almost everything Linux says that the _ (underscore) is invalid
these days. My dpkg config foo is not that good but I did manage to
fake it out once. Then I had to repair my system. Not to mention
that _OSE is in like 10,000 places in the code.
So the easiest way to fix this is to somehow generate a different
Version string that does not have the _ in the name. That's my next
endeavor anyway.

Any idea how to get around this issue? Debian lenny will complete with
the error but does bark about it.
Looks like the issue is being generated by VBox as the control file has
the exact information that dpkg-deb: is complaining about.
dh_md5sums: Compatibility levels before 5 are deprecated.
dh_builddeb --destdir /
dh_builddeb: Compatibility levels before 5 are deprecated.

I think the invalid character is the underscore in "_OSE", which is from the
version number generated by VBox.
Somehow Oracle build their packages without OSE, but the source code they
release builds with OSE. There is a thread from a few days ago here, but it
hasn't been resolved yet:
