This is caused by the following snippet from 
/var/lib/dpkg/info/virtualbox-ose.postrm:
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ "$1" = "purge" ] ; then
    update-rc.d vboxdrv remove >/dev/null || exit $?
fi
# End automatically added section

Since virtualbox-2.0 also ships this file, it still exists and "update-
rv.d remove" fails.

Unfortunately I have no idea about how this should get fixed.
