I think that the guest/host terminology is rather well established, so

virtualbox-host-additions

I don't like this. It sounds as if the first package has additions for
the host, but it's just an iso containing additions for the guest. It
doesn't make sense to name it this way.

What about

virtualbox-additions
virtualbox-arch-additions
virtualbox-arch-modules

I see your point, but I don't like your suggestion since there is no
indication *where* it makes sense to install the packages.  It's worth
making it crystal clear that guest additions and guest modules only
make sense in a guest, and that it's pointless to install the ISO
packages in one.


Is this clearer?

virtualbox-additions-for-installing-into-an-arch-linux-host
virtualbox-additions-for-installing-into-an-arch-linux-guest

or should the information really go into the pkgdesc...
