It looks like linux-image-* shows up in there, seems like a reasonable
thing to check for in this case.

Title:
  virtualbox, virtualbox-dkms, virtualbox-qt fail during upgrade from
  19.04 to 19.10

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in virtualbox package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I upgraded this morning from 19.04 to 19.10 with `do-release-upgrade
  -d` and the upgrade reported that virtualbox, virtualbox-qt, and
  virtualbox-dkms encountered problems during the upgrade.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled them after rebooting and saw this:

  ```
  ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-5.0.0-29-generic is not supported
  Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.0.0-29-generic (x86_64)
  Consult /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/6.0.12/build/make.log for more information.
  ```

  I think this means the version of virtualbox in 19.10 doesn't want to
  compile against a 19.04 kernel?

  The problem with this, of course, is that everyone who upgrades from
  19.04 to 19.10 is going to have a 19.04 kernel installed during the
  upgrade (and afterward, since one old kernel is saved), so the upgrade
  will fail for everyone with virtualbox installed. I think this needs
  to be fixed?
