Virtualbox Extension Pack upgrade is unnecessarily convulted on Ubuntu

Description
after upgrading the VirtualBox installation I need to follow the the following dialogs/procedure to upgrade the Extension Pack:
- You have an old version... click Download
- Are you sure you want to download... click Download
- Do you wish to install ... click Install
- An older version is already installed... click Upgrade
- PUEL license agreement... read license to the bottom, click I Agree
- Authentication is needed... enter admin pass
- Successfully installed... click OK
- Do you want to delete ... click Delete
This is frankly annoying and unnecessary.
This should be reduced to:
- You have installed a new version of VirtualBox. You need to upgrade the Extension Pack. If you wish to do it, accept the PUEL license by entering the admin password. The package will be downloaded, installed. The old package is unusable, thus will be deleted.
Thanks for considering the change!
