Ah, right, sorry I didn't look at the 4 bugs the one I've replied to
is merged with.

You might want to propose a stable update to the release team, then.
Or did you already? I don't remember how I met this set of bugs
initially, might very well be by triaging release team's bugs.

Given wheezy-backports apparently has everything needed, it seems that
this only is high priority for those who can't run the Wheezy kernel,
*and* for some reason don't want to use the set of consistent Linux +
VirtualBox packages that are readily available in backports.
So indeed, given there's already a good and supported solution, this
request does look like a wishlist to me. But I'm not the maintainer
anyway :)

Cheers,
