The obvious patch is of course:

+++ b/debian/rules.real
@@ -237,6 +237,7 @@ install-headers_$(ARCH)_$(FEATURESET): 
$(STAMPS_DIR)/source_$(FEATURESET)

tp-smapi builds fine for me then, virtualbox needs some love, but that 
is 3.7 related (error: ‘VM_RESERVED’ undeclared (first use in this 
function)).
