So what's the question?

It's already been reported as a bug:

https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14665

So what's the question?

file syslog.service does not exist in debian

[PeterP]

Hi,

file syslog.service does not exist in debian

Not entirely true - a symlink /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service is created, pointing to either /lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service or /lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service. See the error ticket 14665 mentioned in the previous posts for more information.

Best regards,
Peter

This is not related to debian, but I have found on Fedora that
systecmctl setup vboxdrv
does NOT work, only start, stop are options.
So if you get a new kernel, you need to run
/usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup

Your mileage may vary.
