I'm using VBox + XP guest on Arch Linux, so the VBox versions might
differ.
1. I experienced that adding "virtualbox-ext-oracle" can improve USB
issues. Dunno if there's a Debian package available, if necessary.

2. When I sync my iPad 2 to iTunes running on the guest XP, I can't use
my favorite USB slot, with the connected extension cable. The cable
length and the slot are ok, they're working for all kinds of devices as
long as I use Linux and not the guest XP + the iPad. When using the
extremely short iPad's cable only (tested with two different other USB
slots), then syncing the iPad does work.
