Dear Debian Backport upload masters,I've created an update of the current virtualbox 4.0.10~bpo -> 4.0.16~bpo. I now that there is a newer version, but I I expressed my intentions to keep version 4.0 up to date below.
Because the debian vbox team didn't react in either way, I ask you, the backport masters, directly. Please consider updating virtualbox in stable-backports. The package is available on mentors [0].
Please let me know, if this request won't ever led to success and I will stop asking again.
Kind regards, Marcus [0] http://mentors.debian.net/package/virtualbox[1] dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/v/virtualbox/virtualbox_4.0.16-dfsg-1~bpo60+1.dsc

Hello Debian vbox team, I've created an updated backport package of virtualbox 4.0 (4.0.10 is currently in backports). Personally, I still deploy 4.0 in stable environments. There are some fixes between 4.0.10 and 4.0.16 which I consider worth to officially backport. E.g. the module build fix for 3.2 kernels. Now that we have a 3.2 kernel in stable backports, the 4.0.16 version would bring back some consistency. The package built fine for i386 and amd64. I've uploaded it to debian mentors [0]. If possible, please check it and consider an upload to the backport archive.
