Hi, I'm sending this email to ask whitelist for both packages.

The virtualbox-ext-pack is just a runtime downloader for the extpack file,
so there isn't a license violation, because it is not downloaded during build,
just some postinst files are created in the deb package

similarily, virtualbox-guest-additions-iso forbids modifications of the code, but
there is no code, just an unmodified iso file that is placed under the deb package.

So, techically both packages aren't build by debhelper from source code and in
my opinion can be whitelisted.

thanks for understanding,

Gianfranco
