Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
The VB 5.1.30 module vboxdrv cannot compile with the strertch-backport kernel
4.15.0-0.bpo.2-amd64. The compile finises with error:
/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.1.30/build/vboxdrv/r0drv/linux/timer-r0drv-linux.c:
In function ‘VBoxHost_RTTimerCreateEx’:
/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.1.30/build/vboxdrv/r0drv/linux/timer-r0drv-linux.c:1588:13:
error: implicit declaration of function

init_timer_pinned(&pTimer->aSubTimers[iCpu].u.Std.LnxTimer);
VB's developers released patch for running on kernel 4.15:

Could you please include it to the package?
