There is no universal method for "packages".

For Oracle Java add a task before calling apt:

- debconf:
    name: oracle-java8-installer
    question: shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1
    value: true
    vtype: select

For virtualbox-ext-pack

- debconf:
    name: virtualbox-ext-pack
    question: virtualbox-ext-pack/license
    value: "true"
    vtype: select

before apt install command.
