Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to remove.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  	 Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and the appropriate
  	 headers, most likely linux-headers-amd64.
  
  	 You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
