If you can compile directly from svn it is already great, otherwise if you want to
build the debian package you can just apt-get source virtualbox, enter the directory
and dpkg-buildpackage it to create the binaries.
It is up to you :)
BTW did you try the Debug switch?
Build type:
-d, --build-debug build with debugging symbols and assertions

BTW did you try the Debug switch?
Build type:
-d, --build-debug build with debugging symbols and assertions
it is listed in configure script.
