 %description
+This package replaces the application of Virtualbox's own methodology to
+install Guest Additions (in menu: Devices | Insert Guest Additions CD-image file).
 VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for
 enterprise as well as home use. This package contains the VirtualBox
 Guest Additions which support better integration of VirtualBox guests
 with the Host, including file sharing, clipboard sharing and Seamless mode.
+Aditional note: this package can be installed on an non-guest system, because it is
+harmless and services would not run anyway.
