Minor problem there: looks like abf is "forgetting" once again to remove
old versions.
But that doesn't matter, urpmi selects 5.0.22 anyway.

Not anymore.
The modules are now provided in the kernel-release package.
I moved them into the kernel package because:
1. With the guest-side VirtualBox modules we finally have plymouth
working in vbox
2. Drops the need for non-developers to have compilers and all installed
3. Slow bootup after kernel updates from rebuilding the modules,
potentially causing hard to read errors
We still provide the dkms-virtualbox package for people building their
own kernels, but it's no longer required for people using our kernels.
(Currently this is only in kernel-release, will add it to the next build
of kernel-rc as well)
