Daniel,

  Thanks for your feedback on this issue. I'm going to switch my father to use the PUEL version of Virtualbox as a workaround to this problem. I'm kind of worried that you're not informed about incoming kernel updates though. I hope that in time a solution to that kind of problem will be implemented. I was able to use module-assistant to create a new module package to use though this version of the kernel. If only there was a way to do that in the build system automatically before a kernel update is pushed out. That way you wouldn't need to concern yourself with building a package at all.
  How is the Nvidia kernel module handled? A new version of that was pushed out with the new kernel, and it's non-free. They must have some tricks up their sleeve to handle it.

  Thanks again for your work!
