[Bug 306834] [NEW] Please split the front-end and the back-end in 2 separated packages

[HNT]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

If I want to install Virtualbox-ose on a GNOME desktop, I will need to install qt4. Virtualbox is designed in a client/server way. So we should be able to split virtualbox-ose into 2 separated packages : virtualbox-ose-common and virtualbox-ose-qt. The latter should depend on virtualbox-ose-common (the backend) and vboxgtk should also depend on virtualbox-ose-common.
Therefore, the user wouldn't have to install extra packages that he doesn't need/want.

Regards,

** Affects: virtualbox-ose (Ubuntu)
