I can see that maintaining 2 virtualbox-x11 packages in one release is not desirable, but at the end of the day Ubuntu Trusty is meant to be supported until 2019. How many more hardware stacks will be released in that time and will virtualbox remain locked against the original stack all that time?

I don't know the technicalities of packaging this, but is it not possible to use the Utopic virtualbox-x11 package and change the dependencies to point to xorg-lts-utopic?
