Dear Maintainer,

Following updates in aptitude, I now have the following situation:
snowball:511$ dpkg -l "virtualbox*" | grep ii
ii  virtualbox                     6.1.26-dfsg-4    amd64        x86 virtualization solution - base binaries
ii  virtualbox-dkms                6.1.28-dfsg-1+b1 amd64        x86 virtualization solution - kernel module sources for dkms
ii  virtualbox-ext-pack            6.1.26-2         all          extra capabilities for VirtualBox, downloader.
ii  virtualbox-guest-additions-iso 6.1.22-1         all          guest additions iso image for VirtualBox
ii  virtualbox-qt                  6.1.26-dfsg-4    amd64        x86 virtualization solution - Qt based user interface

Because virtualbox-dkms was upgraded and virtualbox was not, I am
unable to launch a VM (when I try I get an error popup).  I would have
expected the varius virtualbox* packages to have been kept in sync so
this could not happen.
