VirtualBox guest additions prevent usage of kernel deltarpm

When the VirtualBox guest additions are installed for a given kernel,
this apparently modifies the files modules.alias.bin, modules.dep.bin,
and modules.symbols.bin in the corresponding kernel package, so the
kernel deltarpm can't be used, and the full kernel package must be
downloaded. Considering that this is a common situation, and that these
files are much smaller than the entire kernel package, is there any way
this can be worked around, so the drpm can be used? (VirtualBox doesn't
seem to have any utility for removing guest additions, so I haven't
tried that.)
