The problem is that the DKMS hook in virtualbox-dkms starts a whiptail
dialog explaining that a new signing key will be enrolled in the MOK
database, but this dialog does not get displayed, which is why the
system appears to hang.
Below is the output of 'pstree' showing the stack of commands and the
whiptail content.
Secondary issue (with DKMS): I have a signing key in the MOK database
already (like commenter #4), with which I have always used signed the
vbox drivers, so I do not want to enrol a _new_ signing key. So even if
I would see the dialog, it does not present the appropriate option.
I have tried this with aptitude, apt, dpkg --configure, both inside and
outside of a 'screen' session (to make sure I was on a plain console),
but the dialog does not show up in any of these cases.
This is the pstree output:

will be presented to you when this system reboots.\012\012If you proceed but do
not confirm the password upon reboot, Ubuntu will still be able to boot on your
system but any hardware that requires third-party drivers to work correctly may
not be usable. 17 208
