It's not a problem between kernel <=> the module.
It's one between the module <=> virtualbox.
The interface between these two has changed. You can use the module just
fine if you have an old version of vbox -- just not the one in Lenny (nor
the one in Etch).
Akin to library transitions, all that is needed is a rebuild. It may be a
good idea to add a Conflicts: virtualbox-ose (<1.6.6) -- I'm not sure if a
normal dependency would be the right thing for a kernel module.
