This init script was introduced back in 2013, due to bug #686994
(missing modalias). However, that bug has long since been fixed in the
upstream module:

% modinfo vboxvideo | grep alias
alias:          pci:v000080EEd0000BEEFsv*sd*bc*sc*i*

This means the init script is unnecessary, as it will be autoloaded by
the kernel when the right device is present. I have tested this works
even on jessie.

Please remove it. Attached is an (untested) patch that

- removes the init script
- makes sure that the conffile is removed on upgrade
- removes the symlink farm on upgrade

(BTW, I think the vb-guest-utils init script could be similarly
redundant, but I have not tested).


Saludos
