It’s exactly like Pyth0n said. I have never had any problems using sun’s virtualbox on Debian. Edit your sources.list, import the key, apt-get update and finally install it, that’s it.

arcitecture is still called amd64 even in fedora/redhat. This has really Nothing to do with Debian

Perhaps that’s the reason SUN did some xtra work for you:
* put VirtualBox in its own repository,
* instructed how to add this repo to the system
* how to import repo key
* stated the exact set of commands to issue to install VBox automatically pulling all dependencies.
