Have you tried the usual:
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
$ wget -q
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- |
sudo apt-key add -
to see if that corrects it?

Also note that 4.0 has been released:

Note: VirtualBox has been moved from non-free to contrib with 4.0, so
please adjust your repository settings.

I got the 4.0 to show on lucid & updated. But it's not showing up in
Maverick (synaptic) yet (32bit) (US or Main) despite it being in:
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.0.0/
So I reckon I'll download directly & install.
