virtualbox-additions, virtualbox-ose-additions and 
virtualbox-ose-additions-modules can be used _only_ with virtualbox-ose.

as i said in the comments, virtualbox_bin provides the iso for 
additional tools and can be used from virtualbox interface, 
Device->Install additional tools and then can be mounted inside of vm, 
along with ./VBoxsomething.run which compiles all the modules and all 
the stuff that needs to be added.

because there is an viable alternative and the build is using sudo i'll 
deleting right now.
