Bug Description

As usual, I uploaded the fixes in my ppa

virtualbox 5.0.14-dfsg-1ubuntu1.15.10.2 (from xenial)
virtualbox 4.3.36-dfsg-1+deb8u1ubuntu1.15.04.1 (from debian jessie-security upload)
virtualbox 4.3.36-dfsg-1+deb8u1ubuntu1.14.04.1 (from debian jessie-security upload)

https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/ubuntu/locutusofborg-ppa/

4.1.44 is EOL upstream, so I would like to avoid making mistakes in badly backporting patches.

Thanks, looking at these now. I note that the wily package includes the new systemd unit for vboxweb. While it's supposed to be disabled by default by dh_systemd, has it been tested at all on wily?

Also for wily, the version needs to be lower than the version that was sync'ed to xenial from debian (i.e. << 5.0.14-dfsg-1) so that users upgrading from wily to xenial get the xenial version of the package. So I'm adjusting the version for wily to
5.0.14-dfsg-0ubuntu1.15.10.2.

For the record, I have built these packages in the ubuntu-security-proposed ppa ( https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security-proposed/+archive/ubuntu/ppa ) and will likely publish them early next week. Thanks!
