Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.5.6-dfsg-7
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1
On amd64, virtualbox-ose recommends virtualbox-ose-modules package, but there
is no virtualbox-ose-modules package for
amd64 and there is no virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6-amd64 in Debian. This is
violaton of debian policy 2.2.1.
VirtualBox is useless without kernel module, so amd64 users should install
virtualbox-ose-source and compile kernel
module with module-assistant. virtualbox-ose-source is not even listed as
recommended for virtualbox-ose.
My proposal: virtualbox-ose must require at least one of the package:
virtualbox-ose-modules or
virtualbox-ose-source. Of course, having virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6-amd64 will
be even better.
