It seems that the suggested fix for a number of issues is "sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" (bug 1466046 being just one example, the Debian wiki at https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox#Kernel_driver_not_installed_.28rc.3D-1908.29 another). The referenced file does not exist, but it supposedly exists in packages shipped by Oracle. Looks like the file might be missing unintentionally from the Debian and Ubuntu packages. |

For reference sake, I do have /dev/vboxdrv. dpkg-reconfiguring virtualbox-dkms succeeds but does not change the situation.
$ ll /dev/vboxdrv
