From that bug:

'This is most likely caused by the usage of deprecated EXTRA_CFLAGS
(superseded by ccflags-y since 2007) where the backwards compatibility
support has been removed in v6.15-rc1, finally.
"kbuild: remove EXTRA_*FLAGS support"
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/e966ad0edd0056c7491b8f23992c11734ab61ddf
'

So when Ubuntu shipped the 6.17 kernel update to 24.04, it broke the
ability to compile the virtualbox dkms module.

The fix will be to patch the virtualbox package to use `ccflags-y`,
either in Ubuntu and/or upstream in Debian.
