Same here with the non-ose virtualbox:
apt-cache policy virtualbox
virtualbox:
  Installed: 1.5.6-28266_Ubuntu_gutsy
  Candidate: 1.5.6-28266_Ubuntu_gutsy
  Version table:
 *** 1.5.6-28266_Ubuntu_gutsy 0
        500 http://www.virtualbox.org gutsy/non-free Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

hmmm.  Wonder if there's a hardy version...
