I think it makes sense to update these packages in the -security pocket,
along with the other virtualbox security releases.

Bug description:
[Impact]
* some ext-pack and guest-additions-iso versions are too old to be
useful with newer virtualbox releases
[Test Case]
* install a virtualbox machine and extpack/guest-additions, update
virtualbox from -security, and in some case you won't be able to start
the machine anymore
[Regression Potential]
* none.
[Other Info]
Due to upstream's patch policy, security updated are newer minor
releases. That is great for the user. But the catch is that just the
main virtua box packages (virtualbox, virtualbox-qt and virtualbox-
dkms) are updated.
Both virtualbox-guest-additions-iso and virtualbox-ext-pack become
useless after the security update is installed, as the minor version
must match for it to work. While the virtualbox-ext-pack is arguably
relatively easy to find on upstream's webpage (which one has to know
about and go there yourself), the guest additions iso actually has no
public download, since it always comes bundled with the virtualbox
releases.
Long story short, please also update these packages whenever you
upload a new minor version as security update, otherwise you make
those packages completely useless.
