Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu Desktop, we want to install automatically at installation time
open-vm-tools-desktop and its dependencies to provide an improved user
experience on first boot after installation of the guest, and provide an
easy way to install the drivers after installation if they have not been
installed at installation time.
It means adding an XB-Modaliases field to the control file for the
record 'open-vm-tools-desktop' so ubuntu-drivers can detect the packages
to install when running in a VMware guest.
