Before I made that suggestion I looked for the license on those 
additions. The iso that Virtualbox downloads didn't seem to have a 
license file so I browsed the svn repository a bit. I think I found the 
source files from which the additions are built [1] and they are GPLv2. 
If that really is the license then I wonder why they aren't in the 
Debian/Ubuntu repositories. Anyway, I hope I haven't encouraged you to 
install non-free software.
