Lintian isn't run with any special flags on lintian.d.o other than the
flags to show all tags (which aren't relevant here).  It is run on i386
packages, though, which can make a difference.

Lintian doesn't know that /usr/lib/virtualbox is a valid private directory
for a package named virtualbox-ose.  It's very literal about that sort of
thing.  It wouldn't complain about /usr/lib/virtualbox-ose.
