It is totally broken. + The patch proposed backports only the relevant parts from upstream to fix the bug. + The patch is from: https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/41660/vbox + + [Test Case] + Upgrade to 3.5 kernel on 12.04 and install virtualbox. + + [Regression Potential] + It is best to use the latest upstream version. But since that will cause major disruption, we have to track this package and corresponding bugs for regressions.
