Creating a VMware base box would probably require VMWare Workstation in the build chain, and VMWare products have quite restrictive licences, even not suitable for debian-nonfree. Since we don't have an opensource, or at least a free-to-distribute build system for VMWare base boxes, we are not doing it.
Note that in theory it should be also possible to create a VmWare image by exporting a Virtualbox image, since the VMware guest drivers are opensource and packaged in Debian (open-vmtools), but how to test the final image without having Vmware itself ? Emmanuel
