Double clicking it should open it in the Software Centre. That should give you the option to install.

1With 6.1.34_Ubuntu r150636 already installed via official Ubuntu repos, double clicking on the 6.1.38 will only open the "Software Center", indicating that VirtualBox is already installed... :/ Would it be possible to install the deb separately to the standard installation?

You can also use gdebi
, a tool similar to dpkg that also resolves any dependencies needed for the package to work.
You just need to install gdebi (sudo apt-get install gdebi
), and then run:
sudo gdebi /PATH/TO/PACKAGE.deb
