[Bug 1564159] [NEW] vbox guest rules should be included by default

[Jethro Beekman]

Public bug reported:

Since vivid, Ubuntu ships the VirtualBox drivers as part of the main
kernel package, by incorporating the virtualbox-guest-dkms package
directly. See
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1418743 . However,
the udev rules (/lib/udev/rules.d/60-virtualbox-guest-dkms.rules) from
the same DKMS package are not beind shipped with the main udev
installation. This leads to incorrect permissions of the /dev/vboxuser
device. Since Ubuntu ships the kernel modules "by default" it should do
the same for the udev rules. This is broken in vivid, wily and xenial.

** Affects: udev (Ubuntu)
