[vbox-dev] Linux Guest Additions Installer Patch (depmod overrides)

[Mark Furneaux]

This patch fixes the override rules for depmod so that user-installed
kernel modules are loaded instead of the ones provided by many
distributions. With the current code, only the last rule gets applied since
the file is being rewritten instead of appended to.

This patch is provided under the MIT licence.
