Bug Description

Would it be possible to enable the virtualbox backend in libvirt in raring? All that needs to be changed is adding "--with-vbox" to debian/rules.

With the version of libvirt in raring, there is *no need* for virtualbox to be installed while building anymore.

Thanks in advance!

Awesome, thanks!

I don't know if it'll be helpful, but I created a PPA with the vbox backend enabled: https://launchpad.net/~cxl/+archive/libvirt/ The package builds successfully in pbuilder :)
