Bug Description

The "stop" action for /etc/init.d/vboxdrv fails, if virtualbox-ose is not running, because "killall -q VBoxSVC" exits the script (it's "set -e").

$ LANG=C sudo dpkg -P virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-14-generic

 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:

The fix is quite simple: just add "|| true" to the line.

  * Remove stop from the init script - removing the module and killing
    virtualbox is bad for upgrades. (LP: #152925)
