Thanks for the reminder. Points well taken.

I actively participate in debian-user and wouldn't disturb the peace
in debian-devel in general. But this time it is different.

- 1st, I've asked the same question in debian-user before.
- 2nd and most importantly, I believe, as a programmer, that latest
Vmware Workstation (version >=7.0) cannot be installed smoothly under
latest Debian, whereas otherwise in other distros.

So please take it as a bug report, and I'm glad if anyone can prove
that I'm wrong.

Thanks
