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.

The package descriptions should, of course, emphasize this.
