I've found the corresponding changelog entry from the initscripts package I think:
sysvinit (2.86.ds1-14.1ubuntu22) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Drop /proc/bus/usb again; software should all be ported to check
    /dev/bus/usb first by now.

It appears that virtualbox should check /dev/bus/usb first.

Scott, would it do any harm to uncomment the change for Gutsy?
