Hi VirtualBox maintainers,
this is apparently a bug for you, which was filed against "general".

Debian was a fresh install. I tried to install VBox Guest Addtions like I have
done 100 times for at least 20 different distros. During that install I noticed
a small line, that said that the linux headers were missing. On the next reboot
the systen got into an eternal loop trying to add a VBox Service. The system also looped selecting Grub Recovery mode.
I reinstalled Debian and before installing VBox Guest Additions, I installed perl; make; gcc and the linux headers and afterwards the installation of VBox Guest Additions was OK.
Other distros (e.g Ubuntu) avoid the installation of VBox Guest Additions, if the dependencies are not satisfied and they clearly tell you what is missing.
