Hi Gianfranco,
thanks for your summary.

Although I'm not involved in maintaining virtualbox, still a few
thoughts:

* What would that mean for Jessie updates?
* Isn't that basically the same problem we have with MySQL,
  or even Iceweasel?

So I think the question is either drop, or work with upstream releases,
from which I'd personally prefer.

Even popcon isn't too bad: 
https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=virtualbox

Leaving users with the possibility to use upstream packages is also not
very attractive.

Just me few cents :)
Markus
