I dissagree with the severity adjustment (but leave it untouched for
now). I do belive that this issue needs to be / should be fixed in
Sqeeze before the release.

Thus I am Cc'ing the release team so we get their input on this. Not
having vmmemctl (or vmw_balloon, the new name) in Squeeze means that
memory management will be broken within VMs on for VMWare hosts. This is
IMHO unacceptable.

Cheers
