What is the output of:

$ apt-cache policy virtualbox-3.2
and
$ apt-cache policy virtualbox-4.0
and
$ apt-cache policy virtualbox-ose

If you have the PUEL 4.0.x version you will see:
$ apt-cache policy virtualbox-4
N: Unable to locate package virtualbox-4
gg at gg:~$ apt-cache policy virtualbox-4.0
virtualbox-4.0:
  Installed: 4.0.2-69518~Ubuntu~maverick
  Candidate: 4.0.2-69518~Ubuntu~maverick
  Version table:
 *** 4.0.2-69518~Ubuntu~maverick 0
        500 http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/
maverick/contrib i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The 'http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/' indicates it was
loaded from virtualbox & is the PUEL version.

VB 4.0 is not yet available in the ose version from the Ubuntu repos:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=virtualbox-ose
and the last 'apt-cache' policy command above will result in the
following if you do not have the OSE version installed:

$ apt-cache policy virtualbox-ose
virtualbox-ose:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.2.8-dfsg-2ubuntu1
  Version table:
     3.2.8-dfsg-2ubuntu1 0
