The Debian virtualbox-guest-source package can be used in several ways,
6
- Using module-assistant(8) commands provided by the module-assistant Debian
9
# module-assistant prepare virtualbox-guest
10
# module-assistant auto-install virtualbox-guest
12
- Using the make-kpkg(1) command provided by the kernel-package Debian
13
package. See the "modules_image" section of the make-kpkg(1) man page.
15
- Unpacking /usr/src/virtualbox-*.tar.bz2 and installing the module on your own.

- The way the device node is created is kind of ugly, but follows upstream's way.
20
http://blino.org/blog/mandriva/kernel/register_vboxadd_device.html suggest a
21
better way that might get integrated into the package later on.

25
- Starting with version 3.0.10 virtualbox can use dkms(8) to build the
26
modules automatically. If you prefer using dkms, please install
27
virtualbox-dkms instead.
