[Bug 1790427] Re: Automatically install open-vm-tools when installer running in a VMware VM

desktop in ESXi

  1) Ubuntu Desktop ISO: ubuntu-18.10-desktop-amd64.iso and ubuntu-18.04
-desktop-amd64.iso

  2) For Ubuntu Server live ISOs(cosmic-live-server-amd64.iso),open-vm-
tools is installed automatically when install guestOS. But for Ubuntu
Server(ubuntu-18.10-server-amd64.iso), it's not.

Title:
  Automatically install open-vm-tools when installer running in a VMware
  VM

Status in open-vm-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in open-vm-tools package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  It is valuable for open-vm-tools to install automatically for both
  desktop and server if their OS installer detects that it is running on
  a VMware VM.

  This may require first work with the Debian community to get this implemented for Debian since Ubuntu is based on Debian.
