  Bug #1088053 in open-vm-tools (Ubuntu): "Kernel needs to provide FIFREEZE/FITHAW ioctl so that open-vm-dkms can build"

This stops dkms from building the vmsync module.

Upstream says that the kernel takes care of this as of 3.6.  And Ubuntu's kernel has it compiled in.

UPDATE (12-21-12): Debian has started their uploads again, with the stable release.  I plan on bringing in some of those changes in the next upload.

As for uploading uploading the Stable release to Ubuntu (instead of the Devel release), maybe next cycle, I want to see how upstream is releasing their packages. See how their release ratio of Stable vs Devel is.
