There were problems setting up VirtualBox.  To re-start the set-up process, run
  /sbin/vboxconfig
as root.  If your system is using EFI Secure Boot you may need to sign the
kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load
them. Please see your Linux system's documentation for more information.

udev isn't installed indeed. But the Debian package should be able to handle that.

I suspect /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh simply needs a:

mkdir --parents /etc/udev/rules.d/

As a bonus you might wish to advice installing udev inside the script or add a Depends: or Recommends: on udev.
