I would suggest these names as they are clearer:
virtualbox-additions -> virtualbox-guest-additions
This implies that these are the additions for all supported guests and it's Oracle's official name for that. It's delivered by Oracle as an iso anyway. So no need for an additional -image or -iso in the name.
virtualbox-additions could be confused with virtualbox-ext-oracle.
virtualbox-guest-additions -> virtualbox-arch-guest-additions, virtualbox-guest-arch-additions or something like that
This would explain that those additions are at least Arch specific.
Probably it would be even better to remove the packages virtualbox-guest-additions and virtualbox-guest-modules completely as Arch Linux is fully supported by the installation script of the iso installed by virtualbox-additions. And the guest additions installed by this script are working perfectly out of the box on Arch Linux guests. Heiko
