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

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in open-vm-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
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.
