The first part of an answer is here:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/virtualbox 
(see, no Virtualbox in Testing, means no Virtualbox in Stretch)

And the second part is here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=794466
and here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=794466#93

As of right now, Virtualbox will not be allowed to be in Testing in the
future. And because it will never be in Testing, in can not be
backported to Stretch. Ever.

Grüße,
Sven.
