Bug Description

Please add check for kernel headers presence into post-install script or download them directly from repository before building the kernel modules. Downloading the headers from repository(and unpacking without installation) isn't very good idea, but it's only way to prevent this bug.

I don't see how I can check this bug without having an "apport-collect 1768101" command run...
I see the dkms package already depends on header installs, this fails maybe with custom built kernels, but this is also the reason for the existence of the virtualbox-*-source packages
