please unblock open-vm-tools (rc bugfix)
Hi, open-vm-tools/2:8.8.0+2012.05.21-724730-3 was uploaded to fix an RC bug in the package (#679886). It has now aged for 11 days without problems discovered. It must be noted that wheezy now contains -1. -2 was uploaded before the freeze and got an automatic unblock already. Its changes have been in unstable for a month and I'm using -3 on a wheezy machine for weeks to full satisfaction. Please consider to unblock. thanks, Thijs signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Specific enough? The first one became a release goal AFAICS. The second and the last were not enough, but are needed to fix the RC bug AFAICS. The sleep is a workaround as otherwise people need to refrain from using restart. Which is an unfiled RC bug AFAICT. The GPL one is not just the boilerplate, but also fixing the copyright of some files. Which certainly can be seen as RC AFAICT. So the only one I could see you argue about, is the one about the initramfs or am I missing something?
