[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#748691: virtualbox: does not ship vboxautostart-service init script, can't start VMs at system boot

[nodiscc]

Package: virtualbox
Version: 4.3.10-dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

The current virtualbox debian package does not ship /etc/init.d/vboxautostart-service , which allows to start VMs at system boot.
Without this init script, the procedure described at https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#autostart does not work. (no
virtual machines are started during boot process)

I've manually installed the script from https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Installer/linux/vboxautostart-service.sh?format=raw
and it is fully working, without modifications.

Could you include this init script in the Debian package?

Thanks in advance
