Can't check right now, but I don't think so. If it's not installed,
I'll give it a try (on Wednesday probably, don't have time tomorrow)
and report back.

I do have one question though, what ascii/stretch package name(s) should
I pass to `apt-get install`? Here's what I get for APT sources that
only reference `ascii{,-security,-updates,-backports}`.

$ apt-cache search virtualbox-guest
virtualbox-guest-dkms - x86 virtualization solution - guest addition module source for dkms
virtualbox-guest-source - x86 virtualization solution - guest addition module source
virtualbox-guest-utils - x86 virtualization solution - non-X11 guest utilities
virtualbox-guest-x11 - x86 virtualization solution - X11 guest utilities

# There is no virtualbox-guest-additions-iso for ascii/stretch, only for
# jessie, buster and sid. The virtualbox-guest-additions package for
# wheezy just transitions to virtualbox-guest-additions-iso.

>From what I read in the package descriptions, virtualbox-guest-utils and
virtualbox-guest-x11 provide "stuff" to install in the guest. How does
that jive with installing these on the host? Or should I install these
on the guest? Does that mean the guest also needs virtualbox-guest-dkms
(and the toolchain required to build)? That would suck pretty badly,
IMO.

# OK, so I had three more questions. Hope you don't mind.

Thanks for the possible cluebat.

Hope this help,
