Version: 2:8.8.0+2011.12.20-562307-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi.
I've looked over #518014 which ended in removing the open-vm-source package.
I see no real reason why anything should be different with open-vm-source to
open-vm-dkms.
In both cases you somehow need the kernel headers and if the admin fails to
provide them it will fail.
As many people don't want to use DKMS (but rather module-assitant or kernel-
package) and as most module packages in Debian provide just both, a -source
and a -dkms, package,... please could you re-add the former?
Thanks,
Chris.

m-a is not really maintained and deprecated too, so no, doesn't make
sense to add it back, sorry.
