Debian package: libvpx* dependency problem

Description
Debian package (virtualbox-5.0 5.0.2-102096~Debian~jessie) depends on the "libvpx1" package.
Yes, that package can be found in Debian "Jessie" (stable), but it is no longer in "Stretch" (testing) and "Sid" (unstable) repositories (they instead contain a new variant of that binary package, "libvpx2"), making the "virtualbox-5.0" package non-installable.
2 possible solutions:
- build one more Debian binary VirtualBox package version (i. e., "Stretch", in addition to "Squeeze", "Wheezy" and "Jessie" ones);
- as a workaround, instruct Debian testing / unstable users to install "libvpx2" from stable, unless it conflicts with something.

As of virtualbox-5.0 5.0.22-108108~Debian~stretch, the dependencies are OK for Debian Stretch.
Please close the ticket.

VirtualBox 5.0 can easily be installed on Stretch/Sid by adding the Jessie repositories to the package repo list. The effort is quite small. I don't think we will provide a dedicated package for Sid/Stretch right now as both distributions are currently quite "unstable".
