Kevin,
thanks for your comment. However, for some people this might not be acceptable 
as they'd have to use an old kernel.

Note: For those of you who do not want to go through the following
steps, just use the attached deb-Package which is the result of the
following process.

This work-around does not rely on using outdated software:

0) Open up a command line.  Don't worry, the workaround is straight forward and 
doesn't require any file editing. 
1) Install module-assistant. This program is used to compile kernel modules 
from source code and build debian modulels. Simply do:
sudo aptitude install module-assistant
2) Tell module-assistant to build, package and install your new modules; all 
done in the regular Debian way:
sudo module-assistant auto-install virtualbox-ose
This will automagically prepare everything it needs.
3) Reboot your system.
Note: If you followed Kevin's instructions above, make sure you boot the 
current kernel. Obviously, this workaround works anytime they release a new 
kernel without updating the virtualbox modules. Once they release updated 
versions of the virtualbox modules, these will be installed during your regular 
system updates.

Hope this helps.

All best,
Dan
