Bug Description

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

Prior to VirtualBox 4.0 there were two VirtualBox versions:
- VirtualBox OSE _ open-source edition (licensed under GPL),
- VirtualBox PUEL _ Personal Use and Evaluation License edition
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/VirtualBox_PUEL

With VirtualBox 4.0 there was a change of names:
- VirtualBox OSE --> VirtualBox (still licensed under GPL),
- VirtualBox PUEL --> is build as extension on VirtualBox product
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

So there is no reason to name a package (and PPA) as virtualbox-ose. The package should be renamed to point to actual-official name.

We'll rename the packages in natty+1.

Reminder to myself:
Set VBOX_VERSION_STRING="$(VBOX_VERSION_MAJOR).$(VBOX_VERSION_MINOR).\
$(VBOX_VERSION_BUILD)_$(shell dpkg-vendor --query Vendor)"
