[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] update of virtualbox 4.0 in squeeze-backports

[Marcus Osdoba]

Dear Debian Backport upload masters,

I've created an update of the current virtualbox 4.0.10~bpo -> 
4.0.16~bpo. I now that there is a newer version, but I I expressed my 
intentions to keep version 4.0 up to date below.

Because the debian vbox team didn't react in either way, I ask you, the 
backport masters, directly. Please consider updating virtualbox in 
stable-backports. The package is available on mentors [0].

Please let me know, if this request won't ever led to success and I will 
stop asking again.

Kind regards,
Marcus
