Please allow us to fix two serious bugs spotted on the first virtualbox update.

they are triggered by a double run of the postinst script at the same time, leading to 

a bad race condition, leaving the package half-installed.

debdiff attached.

TLTR: moving virtualbox-dkms to pre-depends fixes the issue :)

cheers,

(and thanks)
