The first part of an answer is here: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/virtualbox (see, no Virtualbox in Testing, means no Virtualbox in Stretch) And the second part is here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=794466 and here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=794466#93 As of right now, Virtualbox will not be allowed to be in Testing in the future. And because it will never be in Testing, in can not be backported to Stretch. Ever. Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault. Core dumped.
