thanks

The scenario that causes the problem:
- User installs virtualbox-ose
- User removes virtualbox-ose, /etc/vbox/vbox.cfg is not removed as it's
a config file
- User installs virtualbox-2.2 (upstream proprietary package), which
  removes /etc/vbox/vbox.cfg in postinst as it doesn't need it anymore
- User removes virtualbox-2.2
- User installs virtualbox-ose

At this point /etc/vbox/vbox.cfg doesn't exist anymore even though
virtualbox-ose
requires that file.
As it doesn't have any disadvantages and upstream seems to have
(partly?) dropped
vbox.cfg, it should also be dropped in this package.
