Yes. It is valid for Debian. :-) <br>
But just because there's a derivative using, doesn't qualify to
keep filing bugs.<br>

Can we please overcome this "but you are using Ubuntu" topic? It
should make no difference whether I file such a general bug from my
Ubuntu laptop or one of my Debian server instances. I agree a "this
is broken, please fix it" bug would be invalid if I use an Ubuntu
version. But that does not apply to this bug.<br>
<br>
Anyway it would be great to get version 5.0.0 of VirtualBox into
Debian. Thank you for maintaining this package.<br>
