vbox* modules are still loaded, VirtualBox still works though.

I think besides the alarming error, the config is just going to get
ignored, which means the kvm enable_virt_at_load=0 fix is not going
to be effective.

The problem seems to be that `virtualbox-dkms.install.in` is trying
to rename a filename, something dh_install does not support, and considers
the destination in the following entry to be the destination directory
to install the file, as is, inside it:

debian/virtualbox-dkms.modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.d/virtualbox-dkms.conf

Thanks,
