I think the "install libc6 and friends from unstable, then downgrade"
process is too hackish, and I don't want to be a release manager when
it breaks horribly due to changes in Debian unstable eight hours
before I build the final ISO.

I propose we rebuild VirtualBox 4.2.16-dfsg-1~bpo70+1 in a Squeeze +
Xorg/squeeze-backports environment, upload the result to
squeeze-sloppy-backports, and use it: no version mismatch, we get
closer to what we'll get once based on Wheezy, we get closer to
#5606 (add virtualbox host software), and we don't have to carry the
packages in our APT repository. I'm glad to provide some guidance to
anyone who wants to do it, and I'll do the uploads as needed.
What do you think?
Cheers,
