[Bug 277556] Re: should build kernel modules with dkms

With open-vm-tools the way it is now, if a kernel upgrade is performed
(as happens often with security upgrades), and you forget to re-compile
open-vm-sources, at next boot the system will have some major issues
(like networking doesn't come up). With automated security installs
(like I use), this means that whenever a reboot happens, there's a
decent chance the system won't come up. I think it would be worth while
to make DKMS work in this package to prevent these issues - I bet a lot
of sysadmin would love you for it :-)
