[Bug 303199] Re: virtualbox-ose-modules broken AGAIN

[Bipolar]

I certainly appreciate the work of everyone that puts time into Ubuntu, including Daniel. However, if someone doesn't complain, how exactly would anything get fixed? Also, this doesn't help to correct the underlying issue. How does Daniel know that a kernel update is coming that is going to break the work hes done on his package? Does he get any lead time to build a module? Is there an automated system for building kernel module packages along with the kernel when it gets a minor update like this?
When installing security updates breaks packages repeatedly, the first reaction end users have to the issue is to stop installing security updates, because they break things. That is what needs fixing. If there are packages that require updates every time the kernel gets a minor upgrade, there needs to be an automated way of rebuilding them.
If Intrepid uses DKMS, then that will fix THIS package for Intrepid. But I worry that the underlying issue will still be there, ready to rear it's head with a different package in the future.
