Actually the dependencies are handled by
Package: virtualbox
Architecture: amd64 i386
Pre-Depends: dpkg (>= 1.15.6~)
Depends: adduser, ${misc:Depends}, ${python:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}
so if something is wrong I guess is because of a bug in python:Depends.
I really would like to avoid playing with python dependencies, and let dh-python
do its job.
cheers,
G.
