Looking at that page,  it seems to go off in a number of different directions,  and it's not clear to me what I might want to do here.

I did at one point download some stuff from the Oracle site,  but am now not sure what to do with it in terms of making it work with the packaging setup.  In /var/cache/apt there seem to be over a dozen different virtualbox files,  and elsewhere Im finding virtualbox-6.1_6.2.26-145957-Debian-stretch-amd64.deb which shows a date stamp within the past week.  But how to get the system to use this is not clear to me.
