I did about 90% of the inital packaging. Can be seen on http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-virtualbox/ > I cannot find him in the > changelog file. Patrick uploaded removed me from changelog in the two last uploads (virtualbox 1.4.0svn4130-dfsg-1 and virtualbox-ose 1.4.0svn4130-dfsg-1 that is) without notifying me. In all previous uploads to NEW, I was in the co-maintainer.

Phillipp asked me about virtualbox on Debconf, I welcomed him and immediately added him to the alioth project and he uploaded a fixed version to NEW at the same evening. > To me this is clearly a hijack and I'd like to see a very valid > reasoning for this behaviour.

As both me and also Patrick are in contact with upstream, this is a pending issue solved in hopefully short time. Upstream is generally cooperative and understands the problems, hence I see this a bit more relaxed (for the next few days only, until it's sorted out). However, if ftp-master do disagree, I'll can re-upload 1.4.0, superseeding the 1.5.0 upload.
