Bug Description

With 5.3.0-12-generic on bionic virtualbox-dkms fails to build the kernel driver. Excerpt of build failure below. Full text attached. This is the second time I've been bitten by this dkms failing to build on kernel upgrades. It really feels like the -dkms packages successfully building should be a gating factor in releasing hwe-kernels. Perhaps such a test can be added to autopkgtests?

Hello Dave, or anyone else affected,

Accepted virtualbox into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/5.2.34-dfsg-0~ubuntu18.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

The virtualbox packages are special, so I'm - as always - conditionally accepting those without proper SRU information filled in.
Please set the verification done tag once you are happy with the testing.

The usual verification has been performed correctly, and also the test kernel matrix is now green, 10 days have passed with no new bugs, I think it is safe to land
(I got 3 bugs similar to this one, with version 5.2.32, and I presume they are all fixed if we make this version land)
