I found this page https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox#Debi ... Stretch.22 which states that VirtualBox is not available in Stretch and asks us to use the third party repository,
Code: Select all
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian stretch contrib

sudo apt-cache policy virtualbox-5.1
virtualbox-5.1:

Since the version, 5.1.26 is the same, I am inclined to use the Stretch Backport repository to install, especially since it is DFSG and also that's the only way Synaptic will allow me to install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso which I need.
Any objections or thoughts on this?
