1. Please paste as text, rather than HTML. (it breaks fonts here...)

2. Where did you get VNC ext.pack ?

3. Oracle said in the past, that 2 ext.modules will conflict due to
sharing of one resource (VRDE).
Only one VRDE module can be registered at a time...

1) Not even going there.
2) Built it.
3) It works.

You can have all the extpacks you can build. With VNC you can build and
install it but you need to then tell VirtualBox which to use VRDE or VNC
as you can not use them both at the same time.

VBoxManage setproperty vrdeextpack VBoxVNC at the moment it is VNC but
should be VBoxVNC

Oh and I should mention that this is still extremely experimental and at
this point you need to hack a few extra files so it is not ready for any
kind of use and only in Debian at this point. The post was to inform
klaus of where it is and what is missing.

I've hopefully managed to resolve the packaging issues (which were
Debian specific) today...

With the current state of the tree it should be just a matter of running
"fakeroot debian/rules binary VNC=1", and get a package which has the
VNC extpack included straight from the start.

Quite likely there are some packaging issues left on various platforms,
but this can be sorted out by the community.

That's a docs bug which was fixed a few minutes ago - the extpack is
named "VNC" consistently, I just mixed it up with the filename of the
VRDE module. Short is beautiful, and there are enough "VBox" prefixes
already ;)
