Description: /usr/lib/modules-load.d/virtualbox-host-dkms.conf is not correctly formatted


Additional info:
* package version: 5.0.16-1


Steps to reproduce:
Installing this version of virtualbox-host-dkms brings a non functional config file for loading kernel modules.
Its contents are "vboxnetadp\nvboxnetflt\nvboxdrv\n"; it looks like line feeds were not interpreted in the PKGBUILD bash function.
Manually changing the "false" line feeds into real ones fixes the problem.
The only way I managed to format the file correctly was by adding each line separately.

This does not concern the problem directly, but maybe this file should be replaced with a systemd service file : virtualbox already has the /usr/bin/rcvboxdrv executable which can load all the required drivers without any problem (at least in my experience).
This task depends upon
