Doesn't nixops set this by default when the deployment is "virtualbox"?
At least, I haven't manually set this service to enabled before, but the guest additions were installed anyway. For instance, I was able to manually mount the vboxsf volume once the machine had booted.

I had the feeling, that the package just wasn't there, yet when the system tried to automatically mount the vboxsf volume at boot-time. So, adding it to fsPackages should somehow make sure that the package is available at boot-time. Or am I wrong here?

Best, Andreas
