Hi:
I couldn't test VBox5.0 on Jessie - that might work but if you already 
upgraded Jessie to Testing than you run into problems with libvpx1. It has no 
install candidate in Testing because libvpx2 is part of Testing.
The best bet might be to stay with Jessie as host system and install Testing 
in a virtual machine to keep track of the gcc5 transition.
Well - all depends on what you are up to ...

Cheers
Eike
