Bug Description

Since vivid, Ubuntu ships the VirtualBox drivers as part of the main kernel package, by incorporating the virtualbox-guest-dkms package directly. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1418743 . However, the udev rules (/lib/udev/rules.d/60-virtualbox-guest-dkms.rules) from the same DKMS package are not beind shipped with the main udev installation. This leads to incorrect permissions of the /dev/vboxuser device. Since Ubuntu ships the kernel modules "by default" it should do the same for the udev rules. This is broken in vivid, wily and xenial.
