Except for USB the package virtualbox-ose in Debian will meet all your

If USB is a must you can use the repos from Sun (the USB stuff is
non-free).

If USB is a must, stick the device in, mount it and open a shared folder
in Virtualbox OSE on the mount point for it. That easy.



That works on disk-like devices, not so much on other things. Some people are scared of shared folders as possible attack vectors, thus security risks.
