Bug still active in Precise!

Every time i install a new kernel, this problem comes up and i have to do an manual setup by:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

* Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules
                                                                                                                                                                                                 [ OK ]
 * Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules
                                                                                                                                                                                    [ OK ]
 * Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS
                                                                                                                                                                        [ OK ]
 * Starting VirtualBox kernel modules
                                                                                                                                                                                                 [ OK ]

Will there be an solution in 201x?
It is a SHAME that those old bug is in an LTS!
