I only have Sid in my sources.list and I run:
Linux hdbb 3.10-3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.10.11-1 (2013-09-10) x86_64 
GNU/Linux
I installed virtualbox from the upstream .deb:
dpkg -i virtualbox-4.2_4.2.18-88780~Debian~wheezy_amd64.deb
and it installed w/o a problem.
The virtualbox GUI is set to notify me when a new stable release is 
available and I download that. It did that on Sept.9 for 4.2.18.
