mkdir /opt/VirtualBox
cp /tmp/vbox.cfg /etc/vbox
cp /tmp/interfaces /etc/vbox # itt nyilvan a picit feljebb levo filekra hivatkozom.

for x in VirtualBox VBoxManage VBoxSDL; do ln -s /opt/VirtualBox/VBox.sh /usr/bin/${x}; done

Tömören ennyi. Gentoo alatt kicsit ennél bonyibb a kérdés, mert külön csoport van hozzá, de elvben minden jogot átszámoltam Debianhoz. Az asztal ikon készítése a leg egyszerűbb, külön talán nem is mondanám el.
Érdemesebb egyébként a LD_LIBRARY_PATH helyett a /etc/ld.so.conf mappába beletenni a virtualbox install mappáját (esetünkben /opt/VirtualBox) mert akkor nem kell külön workaroundolni

Van mar VirtualBoxhoz Debian csomag.
