Bug Description

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

Thank you for the 2.0.2 virtualbox packages in intrepid.

I'd like to see the VBoxHeadless front-end installed as well for use with headless VMs. In http://bugs.debian.org/486544, this was added to the Debian 1.6.2 packages. I don't remember if it was in the 1.6.2 packages I had prior to the latest update in intrepid, but I do have a desire for it now.

This is apparently in the OSE; it just has the non-free RDP support stripped out.
