My current practice is to use my own simple wrapper script to call
vboxbuild $KERNEL to rebuild for all my currently installed kernels.
Will this be possible with dkms install? Come to think of this, would
dkms then be a hard dep for virtualbox?

If no to Q1, then could I just save a copy of the currently working
vboxbuild and continue to use that? I used to have my own script (its
probably backed up somewhere) for doing this, but vboxbuild was just
easier to use.
