I propose we rebuild VirtualBox 4.2.16-dfsg-1~bpo70+1 in a Squeeze + Xorg/squeeze-backports environment, upload the result to squeeze-sloppy-backports, and use it: no version mismatch, we get closer to what we'll get once based on Wheezy, we get closer to #5606 (add virtualbox host software), and we don't have to carry the packages in our APT repository. I'm glad to provide some guidance to anyone who wants to do it, and I'll do the uploads as needed. What do you think?
