Possible duplicate of Bug #1608208. Try removing all old virtualbox packages prior to installing virtualbox 5.

I surely didn't have them both installed, as apt-get wanted to remove the old guest additions packages when I told it to install the new ones.

I confirm the issue with the same error message as in DpkgTerminalLog.txt.

I suspect you installed a while ago some virtualbox-5.0 or virtualbox-5.1 from Oracle official website, and the script hasn't been deleted correctly because you never removed that package and installed the Ubuntu hwe one.
