Disable automatic download of APK expansion files

Question

Is it possible to disable the automatic download of the APK expansion file when you download the application from google play?

Can I force google play to disable the download and let the application download itself the expansion file?

Thanks

If it's your own application you want to test, the best option is to install localy the .apk file on your device without the expansion pack. Upload the application and expansion pack to Google Play and activate it without publishing. When you first start your application, the expansion files will be downloaded from Google Play. This way you can test your expansion files downloader.
