to decide, if it is a bug in linux-modules-extra-2.6 or not.

no, read again. #441146 is about including some definition files into
linux-modules-extra-2.6, not more, not less. as this was done, the bug
is fixed.

are you really not getting it? the /new/ problem is a problem in
virtualbox-ose-source. it has absolutely nothing to do with
linux-modules-extra-2.6. it can not be fixed in linux-modulex-extra-2.6.
 that is why it is not a bug in linux-modules-extra-2.6.

no. the fact that virtualbox-ose-source does not comply with
linux-modulex-extra-2.6 is a bug in virtualbox-ose-source, not in
linux-modules-extra-2.6.
