Package: linux-image-2.6.20-1-686
Version: 2.6.20-2
Severity: normal

Installing vmplayer version 1.0.3 with a stock Debian kernel fails, because
Paravirtualization (CONFIG_PARAVIRT) is enabled by default. I don't know whether
this option is needed for other virtualization software, but if not, it would be
nice if this option was disabled. Then it wouldn't be needed anymore to
recompile the kernel in order to install vmware.

The headers package is usable. The first point you raised is already reported 
in #419943.

Feel free to open a bug report about the second issue if it's valid and not 
already reported.
