vbox for 3.0 ?

I installed virtualbox from ascii-backports,
now I changed sources.list to beowulf, made upgrade and dist-upgrade, but got problem of vbox:

I thought packages from ascii-backports should be in beowulf, but it is not, and there is no beowulf-backports

Re: vbox for 3.0 ?

Virtualbox was removed from Debian Buster in April
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1038163 … m-testing/
virtualbox: might not be suitable for stable releases due to lack of cooperation from upstream on security support for older releases
