Hi, Back in the beginning of September, because I needed to run VirtualBox on Debian 10, I created an unofficial backport of the Debian unstable, published it[1], and mentioned it on [2] (I don't think it was advertised elsewhere). [1] https://people.debian.org/~lucas/virtualbox-buster/ [2] https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox#Debian_10_.22Buster.22 On the above web page, I added: > Note: if you use this, please let me know, so I know if I should > continue maintaining it. I wasn't sure what to expect, but since then, I received at least 15 "thank you" emails. I don't want to reopen the debate about policy for backports and inclusion into testing, that was already discussed at length. But it saddens me a bit that Debian is not providing a solution to our users other than to install unofficial packages (from me, or directly from upstream). Given that backports are a no-go, I hope that http://fasttrack.debian.net/ will make quick progress and turn into an official service soon. Lucas
