I actually succeded in compiling and installing from /usr/src, but trying to 
run a vm gets this message:

RTR3Init failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912)

The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox. The 
installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing

'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

may correct this. Make sure that you do not mix the OSE version and the PUEL 
version of VirtualBox.

In the debian package, there is no vboxdrv init.d!
