[Bug 604998] Re: open-vm-tools (CLI tools) recommends gui tools

[Clint Byrum]

Hi Hans, Chris, thanks for taking the time to file these bug reports and
help us make Ubuntu better.

Agreed 100%, this is a set of tools that are infinitely usable without
toolbox. In fact, open-vm-toolbox already does depend on open-vm-tools.
I think the solution may be to drop open-vm-toolbox to a Suggests.

Marking status as Confirmed, Importance as Wishlist.

One thing, we probably won't be able to update the stable releases of
Ubuntu with this, as some people may be depending on the current
behavior, but we can certainly do it for Oneiric and later.
