I found a couple of blog posts that indicate the D-I does detect it. Perhaps in some other part of D-I than tasksel? For example: http://www.calebscreek.com/2010/08/how-to-install-virtualbox-ose-guest-additions-in-debian-testing-squeeze/ http://tech.barwick.de/linux/installing-debian-virtualbox-guestadditions.html http://www.printandweb.ca/2013/05/installing-guest-additions-for.html For reference, during installation I choose the "ssh-server" and "standard" options in tasksel. -- Sander Marechal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
