Unless Sid gets incompatible library updates in libraries that are actually used by VirtualBox (very unlikely), things should continue to work fine. A bigger problem would be if the VirtualBox packages were "ahead of" Debian, in which case they would require features in libraries that don't yet exist. But as it is, unless we get a completely incompatible library upgrade (very rare) then I wouldn't worry about it too much. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
