Public bug reported:
I attempted to install virtualbox-ose on a fresh Hardy install, and it
tries to roll back to a previous kernel version even though an
appropriate virtualbox-ose-modules package exists for my kernel.
Telling it to install the correct virtualbox-ose-modules package with
virtualbox-ose works around the issue, but it's still confusing.
