dkms will allow the kernel modules to be automagically recompiled when a
new kernel is installed, which is incredibly handy.
Right now, there's a many step process required (get the source, compile
the source, install the modules) every time the kernel is upgraded.
Greek Ordono has already done all the work in DKMS-ifying open-vm-tools.
His packaging is linked to from the bug report at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/277556 . I
have tested his packaging on 4 servers on two versions of VMWare, and it
works great.
I can't seem to figure out how to get someone to review the changes, or
accept them. Can a MOTU help?
Also, this package should be in universe, not multiverse.

Thanks!
