keeping vmware-package out of lenny



hi,

i'd like to keep vmware-package out of lenny for a number of reasons:

 * changes to dpkg-shlibdeps have broken the fairly hacky technique
 vmware-package tried to use to opportunistically add library deps to
 the binary packages make-vmpkg generates.

 * i do not have time to fix the above, test it, and have it tested by
 users before the freeze.

 * vmware has been quite slack in releasing an update that supports the
 latest linux kernels.

 * vmware will doubtlessly release new major/minor versions during the
 lifetime of lenny, and will probably cease security support for older
 versions.

what do i need to do to keep vmware-package out of lenny?  just file an
RC bug on it or what?
