So shouldn’t this be reassigned to debian-installer instead of being marked invalid? VirtualBox will get PAE in one of their subsequent releases (note: Gutsy’s virtualbox-ose is also affected, so maybe this should be opened against it as well), but other PAE-less systems still won’t be able to boot the server kernel.
