I'd add vboxpci, too, won't hurt, but this is module is also tried by the init script. (If it is not there, systemd will not bark)
(This was actually the first approach I tried for the currently pending NMU - haine /usr/lib/modules-load.d/virtualbox-dkms.conf for -dkms and virtualbox-guest-utils.conf and for virtualbox-guest-utils. The guest utils want "vboxguest" and "vboxsf".) However, it is easier (and more obvious to the reader) to just have a simple systemd service unit that just manually calls the init script, so this is the route I've went. (See the debdiff attached to this bug) -- tobi
