I think you completely misunderstand the situation. Yes, there is no
up-to-date virtualbox-ose-modules package, but this is because
linux-modules-extra hasn't been build and uploaded for kernel 2.6.23 and
virtualbox-ose 1.5.4 yet. If you're moaning about this package not yet
being uploaded fine, I'm sure Daniel has a reason why it hasn't been
done yet.

In the meantime though you are free to use m-a to build your own package
from the sources. As soon as the official package appears in the pool it
will be installed on  the next upgrade.

I fail to see the problem to be honest.
