Descrición

When you tell VirtualBox to enable USB support in a virtual machine, VirtualBox says it cannot comply until you install the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack. According to https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads , that extension pack is under the VirtualBox Personal Use and Evaluation License (PUEL), and reading over that licence at https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox_PUEL , it forbids modifications (section 2 and 3). It looks like a licence holder may not be allowed to redistribute even unmodified copies either, though I'm unsure of that part.

Ruben, please add the following to helpers/make-virtualbox to build without support for USB 2.0:

FILE=debian/rules
LINENUM=$(grep -n '. out/env.sh && $(MAKE) \\' $FILE | cut -d: -f1)
LINE="\            VBOX_WITH_EHCI= \\\\"
sed -i "$(($LINENUM+1)) i $LINE" $FILE

FYI: Virtualbox in Ubuntu quantal requires a non-free compiler.
