For those, like me, who are confused by this bug description: current 
version of virtualbox-ose indeed depends on python2.5 on amd64 (but not 
on i386).

>-               python-dev (>= 2.4),

I fail to see how applying this hunk is better than simply rebuilding 
(e.g. by a binNMU) in up-to-date sid.

>-XS-Python-Version: >= 2.4
>+XS-Python-Version: >= 2.6

This change sounds wrong. virtualbox-ose does support (on source level) 
all versions >= 2.4.
