Because the virtualbox-ose-guest-utils package does not depend on the
vboxadd kernel module, its init script should not fail, if the module
cannot get loaded.
Please use "exit 0" instead of "exit 1", otherwise upgrades/installs
will fail.
Even if the package would depend on the kernel module, it should
probably still not cause the package not being installable.

In Ubuntu, we've applied the attached patch to achieve the following:
* debian/virtualbox-ose-guest-utils.init: "exit 0" in case the module
cannot be loaded
We thought you might be interested in doing the same.
