In the [community] repo there are the following packages in addition to

virtualbox-additions 4.0.0-1 (any)
virtualbox-guest-additions 4.0.0-2 (i686 and x86_64)
virtualbox-guest-modules 4.0.0-2 (i686 and x86_64)
In ABS there's only virtualbox-additions.
virtualbox, virtualbox-guest-addions, virtualbox-guest-modules are split
from virtualbox and you'll find them in /var/abs/community/virtualbox
What is what package? And is virtualbox-additions a duplicate of
virtualbox-guest-additions? If yes, it would be nice, if this could be
removed from [community] without moving it to AUR.
no. the descriptions is wrong from virtualbox-guest-additions and it was
fixed in -3
And it would be nice if virtualbox-ext-oracle
(http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44761) would be moved to
[community], too, so that virtualbox is completely in [community] with
all its features.
no
And, btw., does it really make sense to split virtualbox? I mean in
most cases the virtualbox-guest-additions and virtualbox-guest-modules
are needed for running virtualbox or the guests anyway.
yes. a lot of users are using the guest additions provided in the repos
instead of installing them as described in the manual.
