Dear Maintainer,

Virtualbox installed Guest Additions and I use VBoxService in Conky. It did not
work. Also when I type it in the terminal the program does not start, while in
all other distros it works. Here I had to start it like /sbin/VBoxService, so
Debian does not look for (new) executables or (new) links to executables in
/sbin.

/sbin/VBoxService is not part of a Debian package, apparently. If 
you install third-party software, you have to take care of the 
configuration.

Best,
