I'm proposing this for Hardy (see the attached diff, which is quite
large, because of the renaming of the two postinst files).

There have been several bug reports, where users had to run "depmod"
after installation, so this fix makes the package a lot more usable,
given the scenario, where you're installing a new kernel along with the
modules (using the old kernel).

TEST CASE: install virtualbox-ose-modules in another kernel than the one
it's intended for. Reboot to the new kernel for the modules. vboxdrv
should be available, without running depmod manually.

The regression potential is low.
