No.
You have two options. First is to install a version of VMWare that
supports the (now just about standard) initscript headers. If there is
no such version, pester the upstream authors to update their
initscripts.
Second is to create an override, so that you add the headers manually.
That is, create a file /etc/insserv/overrides/FOO (where FOO is the name
of the initscipt being run. Note, not the symlink name. If K01vmware
points to /etc/init.d/vmware, then create
/etc/insserv/overrides/vmware). In that file, write your initscript
header (see http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts for details). You
should then be able to update your system.
