Thanks Arno.

I tried that some days ago, but didn't get an answer (but a week is not 
that long).
Unfortuantly, I cannot find a link to the mailinglist archive for 
pkg-virtualbox-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org

Anyway, here is what I've written on January 30th:
"
Hello Debian vb team,

I have started debianizing phpvirtualbox [0] for my own needs and hope 
this is the right place to bring it up.
Please guide me if I'm wrong.

I use it on a headless server and feel very comfortable with it, so I 
think it might be useful for other users, too
and it should enter the Debian package pool. The version I started with 
is phpvirtualbox-4.0 which applies
to vb 4.0 installations only (4.0.x and 4.1.y are not forcefully API 
compatible).

Phpldapadmin served as an example and dh_make was used to create the 
deb-package source [1].
I have tested the build with dpkg-buildpackage and run through the 
install/remove/purge tests as proposed in the
deb maintainers guide.

I'm not a DM. This is my first attempt to package something for Debian. 
I can afford some time to package 4.1, too.

Please let me know if there are any chances to get this into Debian or 
if I broke any rules.

Kind regards,
Marcus

After googeling around, I realized the mentoring workflow and went that way.

Kind regards,
