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.
