I've uploaded a new version for 2.6.24-22 to hardy-proposed (which already has a -23 kernel itself, so it will break sometime again, when this gets to -updates).
I don't know about security releases beforehand or even new updates in hardy-proposed.
And yes, luckily this is fixed for Intrepid and changing to DKMS for Hardy has been rejected IIRC, but may get considered again, given the number of ABI bumps the kernel already had in Hardy (and its lifetime)!
I'm not using Hardy anymore on my desktop (where I would use virtualbox-ose) and it's very frustrating to keep this package up to date.

I recommend using the "real" virtualbox from virtualbox.org, which is available in a repository, too, and does not have this issue, plus some extra features - but is not as free as the OSE version (but fine e.g. for personal usage).
