Bug Description
I installed testdrive 1.21-0ubuntu1~ppa3 on a machine with non-free virtualbox-3.1. Since I didn't have any of the VM programs in the dependency list [qemu-kvm | kvm (>= 1:84+dfsg-
Looking at the testdrive script it seems like the program will work with virtualbox-ose 3.0 & 3.1, so it will probably work with the non-free version. Could 'virtualbox-3.0' and 'virtualbox-3.1' be added as dependencies to testdrive so that it won't try to install other VM software? Those are the exact package names from 'apt-cache search virtualbox'.

This is my first time submitting a patch, so please pardon if I've done something wrong.
The attached bzr patch to 'debian/control' should add virtualbox-3.0 and/or virtualbox-3.1 as dependencies. I don't know how to bundle the checked-out files into a deb file so I wasn't able to test thoroughly. However, I applied the same change to a downloaded testdrive deb file that I unpacked, modified, then repacked, and it installed without problems.
