It appears that the issue discussed in most of the emails for this bug report did not address the root of the reported problem.
The version of virtualbox-ose-modules (1.6.2) in Lenny do not match the version of virtualbox-ose (1.6.6). Although one can build the correct modules with module assistant, aptitude is constantly wanting to replace the 1.6.6 module with the old (and incompatible) 1.6.2 module. shakazulu:/var/cache/apt/archives# aptitude install virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-1-amd64 Reading package lists...
