Public bug reported:
After installing Virtualbox via `sudo apt install virtualbox`, I expect
a service to be installed that enabled automatically starting guest VMs
on system boot.
Looking at the Virtualbox sources, I see a file `vboxautostart-
service.sh` that is the appropriate service configuration.
`dkpg-query -L virtualbox`, after installing, shows only 1 file in
`/etc/init.d/`: `/etc/init.d/virtualbox`.
If memory serves, this init script used to be installed on my system but
I believe unattended updates broke it.
Without this file, one must manually create it (or an equivalent with
Systemd).
Was this removed intentionally? Or maybe I just broke something on my
system? I've tried re-installing virtualbox a few times.
