Hello,

For VirtualBox 6 we need add VirtualBoxVM to the package with set suid
, and unset suid to VirtualBox binary to avoid problem reported on [5]
.

Also we don't need one patch anymore !
On Debian, for patch [1] upstream now have one patch that fix this. 

On OpenSuse patches [2] and [3] may be replaced with
VBOX_USE_SYSTEM_GL_HEADERS=1 and VBOX_NO_LEGACY_XORG_X11=1
