The same script is "poking dpkg-internal paths" several lines before to check for the xserver-xorg package. The vboxvideo driver is contained into the virtualbox-guest-x11 package. Xorg does not do its driver-selection job because the driver (via a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d) is forced, so when X does not find it, it exits.
