Hi,

I think we cannot accept your package right now. Due to a bug in dak, it could
happen that virtualbox is rejected because there are already binaries with the
same name in main.

A workaround exists, but would require removing virtualbox from experimental
and unstable immediately before accepting the ones targeted contrib, and that
could cause an automatic removal from Wheezy of the existing virtualbox packages,
which is definitely not good.

I'd postpone the processing of virtualbox until Wheezy is released, so you could
be able to upload it to unstable, allowing us to workaround the nasty dak bug.

Cheers,
Luca
