To summarize the status on these 4 packages:

lunar unapproved:
virtualbox-7.0.8-1ubuntu1
virtualbox-hwe-7.0.8-dfsg-1ubuntu1.23.04.1

lunar-proposed:
virtualbox-ext-pack 7.0.8-1
last error in excuses is a dependency problem (probably on what's in unapproved)

lunar release:
virtualbox-guest-additions-iso 7.0.8-1
virtualbox-ext-pack 7.0.6-1
virtualbox-7.0.6-dfsg-1
virtualbox-hwe-7.0.6-dfsg-1ubuntu1.23.04.1

My first question is if virtualbox-guest-additions-iso is usable in lunar, given it's at version 7.0.8 and the test is at 7.0.6? Or, is the rest usable given -guest-additions-iso is ahead?

Second questions is if virtualbox has an MRE or some other SRU exception to allow such version bumps in a stable release? I didn't find anything about it in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates. Sorry, it's the first time I deal with a virtualbox SRU. I checked an older one, and apparently it was the same (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1973275)
