Title:
  dkms is not processing vboxdrv, must do manually

Status in DKMS:
  New
Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dkms

  Using the latest version of Oracle Virtual Box from their repositories, every 
day I have to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup because the ubuntu DKMS package is 
not doing it's job.
  This bug also exists using the VirutalBox package from the Ubuntu 
Repositories so this is not an Oracle Vbox error but a DKMS error.

  Expected behaviour
  DKMS compiles the VirutalBox kernel driver automatically and recompiles 
automatically at each kernel change then saves this kernel driver as a device 
/dev/vboxdrv so that it's usable at each boot.

  What really happens:
  The dkms package does not complie the driver or give access, so every time 
the machine (HP tx2 1050ed laptop) reboots, the kernel driver has to be 
compiled manually (at 7 minutes of lost productivity)
