If you install this for a VM running on ESX then you can ignore this
error, since HGFS (Host-Guest-Filsystem) does not work with ESX and
vmsync is for the experimental VSS-like snapshot feature for Linux which
I never saw used in any production environment.
All other modules, for example vmxnet3 or vmware-balloon are already
inside the default Debian kernel.
And if you can live without the Shared Folder feauture of VMware
Workstation you don't need to bother fixing vmhgfs either.
