   - Checked with cjwatson on this one; OK to merge but should change 
into a sync as soon as his patch is accepted into Debian.

   - Checked this bug prior to reviewing patch; has already been fixed 
via a different route in Debian; marked invalid and thanked author for 
his work, explaining why it was not longer required.

   - I started on this and got completely lost; I think this MP really 
illustrates the challenges of the hardware enablement kernels in 12.04 
with regards to DKMS packages especially when there is no access to the 
upstream VCS to support cherry picking of fixes.  In this case we might 
be best to actually push in a new upstream release of open-vm-tools and 
do some good testing on it - its probably lower risk.
