Bug#406992: ITP: VirtualBox -- x86 virtualization solution



Hi,

I just solved the most disgusting lintian warnings/errors be moving all files
out of /opt/VirtualBox-xzy to their (hopefully) proper place. I exported our
debian scripts to our external repository.

I would be appreciated if we could solve the remaining problems together. So
far I see the following problems:

- still no copyright file, we will provide one
- no manpages
- unstrippped binary objects: We cannot change this because we need to load
  these modules at runtime (similar as XFree86 did before they switched
  to .so modules)
- our .so libs have no major/minor. Not sure if we should really provide one
  but this induces some lintian warnings
- How to generate the SVN as part of the version? I would like to do it like
  Torsten did it with his kBuild package
- In case you are asking: the lintian overrides for PIC code in our shared
  libs are necessary, currently no way to build them as PIC.
- the package still compiles the kernel module during install, I assume this
  should be removed (and the module stuff in preinst/postinst as well)

Maybe others.

I would like to hear your opinion.
