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

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.
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.
virtualbox-additions is the iso to install guest additions inside the
virtual machine (win or any linux), virtualbox-guest-additions is to
install the additions inside an Arch guest.
why not call the former virtualbox-additions-image or something?
a name like that is miles clearer, imho.

historical reasons and i didn't bothered changing. I admit that now
virtualbox-additions 4.0.0-1 doesn't have a good description but that
was fixed in trunk.
the name of the package doesn't really matter. Descriptions are
important in this case.
