My understanding of the issue after an IRC conversation with sforshee is that the modules were intentionally dropped from the kernel packages, but the corresponding Provides of virtualbox-guest-modules was _not_ dropped from the kernel packaging. This means that when we install virtualbox-guest-utils during image build, it sees the modules as already available so does nothing. (Instead, it should have to fulfil the dependency some other way, probably by installing the DKMS packages which build the drivers).
