Bug Description
Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose
Package upgrade asked me to blow away snapshots. I choose no, which was supposed to migrate them. However, I had no snapshots, so it broke!

The question "Proceed with virtualbox-ose upgrade despite losing snapshots?" is meant to either continue with the installation or abort it (if you chose No).
I think the text should be made clearer: not the install process will merge the snapshot data, but you have to do it yourself.
