Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose-modules-generic

My father called me this morning to tell me his virtual Windows XP installation wont start, just after he installed updates.
The kernel was updated to 2.6.24-22-generic from 2.6.24-21-generic. There is no matching virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-22-generic package. This happened last time he upgraded. And the time before that. The module package always lags behind the kernel package, which completely breaks Virtualbox in the meantime. This is a LTS version. This should NEVER happen. If it was a one time thing, I could understand, but this points to a bigger problem with policy. I'm not exactly sure how to address it. At this point, even if this package gets fixed, it will break the next time the kernel gets a minor update.

** Affects: virtualbox-ose-modules (Ubuntu)
