In my humble opinion, you can ignore destructive criticism, not offering
any alternative solution

virtualbox-additions_iso ? (sure this one is difficult to name, but the
description you wrote is very good, it's clear)

virtualbox-archlinux_guest-additions & virtualbox-archlinux_guest-modules ?
But what I would change absolutely is the pkgdesc:
-VirtualBox user-space tools for Linux guests
+VirtualBox user-space tools for Arch Linux guests
-VirtualBox kernel modules for Linux guests
+VirtualBox kernel modules for Arch Linux guests
(since these packages are specifically made *for* arch linux)
my 2 cents, if of any help.
