[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#500101: virtualbox-ose: Upgrade warning about losing snapshots no longer valid

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.6.6-dfsg-1
Severity: minor

During my last upgrade I noticed that this warning is still being
displayed from the preinst script. However, the current versions of
virtualbox no longer have this problem and "old" snapshots should
just remain usable.

I have seen no problems using my 1.6.2 snapshots with 1.6.6.
