I guess one solution could be to have virtualbox-ose not depend on virtualbox-modules, but on virtualbox-ose-modules-$ABI. But I'd really hate for any solution to this to force me to install packages I don't use or need on the system. Maybe virtualbox could also build some empty dummy modules package that has a provides which always satisfies the virtualbox-ose-modules-$ABI.
