* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
  - debian/virtualbox-ose.vboxdrv.init: init script to load vboxdrv kernel
    module
  - debian/rules: install vboxdrv init script
  - debian/control:
    - DebianMaintainerField
    - Breaks on virtualbox-ose-modules (can be dropped after Hardy)
  - debian/patches/10-initscript.dpatch:
    - do not source /etc/default/virtualbox-ose
    - do not load vboxdrv in here, gets done in separate vboxdrv init script
  - debian/virtualbox-ose.default:
    - Dropped, not used in Ubuntu (see 10-initscript.dpatch)
  - debian/virtualbox-ose.preinst:
    - Remove /etc/default/virtualbox-ose
* debian/virtualbox-ose-guest-utils.init:
  Use log_action_cont_msg instead of log_warning_msg to not cause display
  issues in usplash (without "quiet"), when not running in VirtualBox.
* debian/patches/05-vboxdrv-references.dpatch,
  debian/virtualbox-ose.files/VBox.sh:
  Improve error message for missing vboxdrv module and what package to
  install. Use "uname -r" in the virtualbox wrapper script for this.
  Do not mention "modprobe vboxdrv", because it's already done when
  installing the module package.

Move the removal of /etc/default/virtualbox-ose from postinst to preinst,
where it belongs

10. By Daniel Hahler on 2008-04-04

  - debian/virtualbox-ose-guest-utils.init: "exit 0" in case the module
    cannot be loaded
  - debian/virtualbox-ose.vboxdrv.init: init script to load vboxdrv kernel
    module
  - debian/rules: install vboxdrv init script
  - debian/control:
    - DebianMaintainerField
    - Breaks on virtualbox-ose-modules (can be dropped after Hardy)
* debian/patches/10-initscript.dpatch:
  - do not source /etc/default/virtualbox-ose
  - do not load vboxdrv in here, gets done in separate vboxdrv init script
* debian/virtualbox-ose.default:

9. By Daniel Hahler on 2008-03-20

* debian/control: change Depends of modules to Recommends (LP: #188579)
  - virtualbox-ose-guest-utils only recommends virtualbox-ose-guest-modules
  - virtualbox-ose only recommends virtualbox-ose-modules
* debian/virtualbox-ose-guest-utils.init:
  Exit with status 0 in case "vboxadd" cannot get loaded in "start"
* debian/virtualbox-ose.vboxdrv.init:
  Fix test for existing kernel module. Forwarded upstream as #1357.

8. By Daniel Hahler on 2008-03-16

* Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #202727). Remaining Ubuntu changes:
  - Move virtualbox-ose-modules from recommends
    to depends for virtualbox-ose. We can drop this change when Synaptic
    installs recommended packages by default.
  - Fix deprecated values in desktop file (LP: #196714)
  - Change Maintainer to Ubuntu MOTU Developers.
* debian/virtualbox-ose.vboxdrv.init, debian/rules:
  Move init script from virtualbox-ose-modules to here (LP: #200380).
  This also makes sure that the udev rule to handle permissions of
  /dev/vboxdrv is installed, when this init script to modprobe the
  module is run (LP: #147076).
  debian/control: Add Breaks for virtualbox-ose-modules* meta packages
  (<< 17)
* debian/control: virtualbox-ose-guest-utils depends on
  virtualbox-ose-guest-modules, instead of "recommends". The "vboxadd"
  module is required by the guest-utils init script (LP: #189444).
  This is also in line with the Depends for virtualbox-ose on the vboxdrv module.
* debian/control: Drop "suggest uml-utilities" for virtualbox-ose again
  (LP: #154305)
* Fixes the following bugs in Ubuntu:
  - Clearer message about losing snapshots during upgrade (LP: #187082)
  - virtualbox-ose conditionally modprobes vboxdrv
    (from virtualbox-ose-modules) in its init script, so that the
    modules do not need any init scripts anymore (LP: #200380)

Ignore delgroup failures in postrm as it's called a second time by
debconf; see also Debian #462885 for the same fix but related to a
seemingly different cause.

6. By Daniel Hahler on 2008-02-29

[ Saïvann Carignan ]
* Fix deprecated values in desktop file (LP: #196714)

[ Daniel Hahler ]
* debian/control: Suggest bridge-utils and uml-utilities (LP: #154305)

5. By Emilio Pozuelo Monfort on 2008-01-26

* Sync with Debian (LP: #156210). Remaining changes are:
  - Move virtualbox-ose-modules from recommends
    to depends for virtualbox-ose. We can drop this change when Synaptic
    installs recommended packages by default.
  - Change Maintainer to Ubuntu MOTU Developers.

* The new 1.5.4 release closes LP: #179807, #185628.

4. By Steve Kowalik on 2007-10-15

Move the virtualbox-ose-modules from Recommends to Depends. (LP: #152405)

3. By Steve Kowalik on 2007-10-15

* Refer to virtualbox-ose-modules in VBox.sh, rather than
  virtualbox-modules. (LP: #152386)
* Add a patch by dAniel hAhler to change the error message when the
  module isn't loaded. (LP: #152406)
