Hey Gianfranco, thanks for looking into this. :)

> ok the DKMS failure, but does everything work as expected?

No, my system does not finish booting with kernel 4.15. systemd reports
that virtualbox-guest-utils-hwe.service failed and, after a few other
services, stops loading more. I never get to the login screen.

Why shouldn't I install virtualbox-guest-dkms-hwe? It was automatically
installed when I installed virtualbox-guest-utils-hwe:

$ aptitude why virtualbox-guest-dkms-hwe
i   virtualbox-guest-utils-hwe Recommends virtualbox-guest-dkms-hwe (= 
5.1.38-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.1) | virtualbox-guest-source-hwe (= 
5.1.38-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.1) | virtualbox-guest-modules-hwe

This all started when linux-image-4.15.0-29-generic was installed (as an
upgrade) and pulled linux-modules-4.15.0-29-generic (which contains
virtualbox modules) as a dependency. linux-image-4.13.0-45-generic
doesn't do that.
