devel: vbox drivers introduce symlinks which prevent use of orig.tar.gz

[Andy Whitcroft]

The introduction of the vbox drivers prevent use of a .orig.tar.gz. Need to work out how to remove these and restore them on clean.

[h (hparad)]

when building kernel-sources with quilt i struggled about symlinks created
in other folders.
had to add:

 ln -sf ../include ubuntu/vbox/vboxvideo/include
+rm -f ubuntu/vbox/r0drv/r0drv
+rm -f ubuntu/vbox/include/include

Better way should be to check if symlink exist.
