I have installed VirtualBox from the official Ubuntu repository:

virtualbox

virtualbox-qt

virtualbox-ext-pack

After adding the official Oracle VirtualBox repository:

deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian xenial contrib

And its key:

https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc

I can now install virtualbox-5.2. But it removes virtualbox-qt and virtualbox-ext-pack.

How can I install VirtualBox 5.2 and have the GUI and the extension pack?

All binaries, and the guest additions will be included on installing from the Oracle repository. Previous versions of virtualbox may conflict and will have to be removed manually, or will automatically be removed during installation. Existing virtual machines will be kept.

There is no point to download and install a DEB package in addition.

An extension pack matchin the installed version of virtualbox will have to be manually downloaded and then installed from the virtualbox media manager
