Yes that was my goal, until we find a way to dep on at least one kernel and its
headers installed. See [1].

Note that it pulls the linux-headers but do not build the modules if you don't
have the kernel installed.

Anyway, that was not a good idea, I will drop that in vbox 5.0.16-3, which will
be in the repo in few times. Now there is enough warning (dkms and vbox
post_install) that you have to add the headers of your kernel.
