Bug#780798: wheezy-pu: package open-vm-tools/2:8.8.0+2012.05.21-724730-1+nmu2+deb7u1

[Bernd Zeimetz <bzed@debian.org>]

Hi Adam,

as several people are rather unhappy abotu open-vm-tools-dkms being broken in
wheezy - and they don't seem to be able to pick it form proposed-updates - would
it be okwy to update it via wheezy-updates before the next point release happens?


thanks & cheers,

Bernd
