Dear debian-handbook authors,
Thanks for updating debian-handbook for Stretch.
In Stretch, VirtualBox-related packages are removed.
We would like to request your reconsideration about mentioning VirtualBox [1,2].
And it might be a good example for installing package from unstable in stable system
using "APT::Default-Release".
[1] "4.2.17. Selecting Packages for Installation"
"For instance, if a VirtualBox virtual machine is detected,
the program will install the virtualbox-guest-dkms package, allowing
for better integration of the virtual machine with the host system."
[2] "12.2. Virtualization"
"VirtualBox is a virtual machine that is mostly free software (some
extra components are available under a proprietary
license). Unfortunately it is in Debian's “contrib” section because
it includes some precompiled files that cannot be rebuilt without a
proprietary compiler."
Sincerely yours,
Ryuunosuke Ayanokouzi
