[Bug 300839] [NEW] open-vm-source should recommend installation of packages needed for modules compilation

[lucatrv]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: open-vm-source

module-assistant cannot compile open-vm-source unless all the required development packages needed for compilation are installed.
The full list of needed packages is reported in:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/open-vm-tools
I think all these needed packages should be recommended by open-vm-source (in fact, the installation of open-vm-source without those packages is nearly useless).

Since open-vm-source already depends on bzip2, debhelper, and dpatch, here is the list of packages which should be added in open-vm-source as "recommended":
    *  autotools-dev
    *  libdumbnet-dev
    *  libgtk2.0-dev
    *  libicu-dev
    *  libpam0g-dev
    *  libproc-dev
    *  liburiparser-dev
    *  libx11-dev
    *  libxinerama-dev
    *  libxss-dev
    *  libxtst-dev
