> virtualbox-ose-source fails to compile against linux kernel 2.6.30.1.

I just tried with a stock 2.6.30.1 which worked nicely:

...
for templ in `ls debian/*.modules.in` ; do \                                                                                                                
    test -e ${templ%.modules.in}.backup || cp ${templ%.modules.in} ${templ%.modules.in}.backup 2>/dev/null || true; \                                       
    sed -e 's/##KVERS##/2.6.30.1/g ;s/#KVERS#/2.6.30.1/g ; s/_KVERS_/2.6.30.1/g ; s/##KDREV##//g ; s/#KDREV#//g ; s/_KDREV_//g  ' < $templ > ${templ%.modules.in}; \
  done                                                                                                                                                              
dh_testroot

Which gcc do you use? Could you please try again with an up-to-date sid (including vbox 3.0.0-dfsg-2)?
