The specific changes are:
(1) Remove the test in vboxdrv.sh as the script tests for the wrong file. This is safe because
if the package is not installed, the script will not be there.
(2) Move VBoxDbg.so to package virtualbox-qt. With this change, packages libQt5Core, libQt5Gui
and libQt5Widgets are no longer needed with package virtualbox. As a result, a text-only
server no longer needs to load QT to support headless virtual machines.

Hi Larry,
I finally put some effort in fixing the VM autostart mechanics,
that are terminally broken in the current package (due to the way,
systemd interacts with Sys-V init scripts, stop operations aren't
executed most of the time, because it lost track of the state...).
With these changes, I'm able to reliably start/stop all VMs on
hosts ranging from 13.2 to 42.2. I'm confident, this will improve
for all systemd based systems, i.o.w all those systems we care about..
It resembles pretty much the same scheme, vboxdrv is using already.
Give it a try.
- reorganize vbox autostart, coping with systemd:
- add /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxes.sh (based on /etc/init.d/vboxes)
- add /usr/lib/systemd/system/vboxes.service
- remove /etc/init.d/vboxes

USB passthru opens a security hole, yet it is so valuable that many users want the feature, thus it is our default.
Previously, a user needed to edit a udev rule to disable passthru. The bad part was that an update of VB changed the
rule back to allow passthru without any notification. These changes modify the popup to allow the user to accept or decline
passthru. If the user declines, then the root password is requested and the udev rule is modified. As these modifications will be
lost with the next VB update, the inode of the udev rule is kept. If the user has previously declined and the inode has changed,
the popup will show the next time VB is started. File "fix_usb_rules.sh" is added.
