Package: virtualbox-dkms
Version: 4.3.36-dfsg-1+deb8u1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I updated my kernel via apt. VirtualBox does not work since because of
error when compiling the DKMS modules. This issue persists since a few
kernel updates.

See the log output of /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/4.3.36/build/make.log
which I have attached.

-- System Information:

Every module source package gets broken by kernel API changes, so
logically we should do this for all of them rather than just
virtualbox-dkms.  But have you seen how many of them there are?  This
is not practical.

(Also, it's the linux-headers-* packages that are incompatible, not the
linux-image-* packages.)

Ben.
