Bug Description
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-
`dkpg-query -L virtualbox`, after installing, shows only 1 file in `/etc/init.d/`: `/etc/init.
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.
```
