Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: open-vm-tools

open-vm-tools in Karmic currently depends on a number of X-related
packages such as libxrender1 and libcairo2, so installing it on a
lightweight VM pulls in lots of additional packages. These dependencies
are only required by couple of plugins: libresolutionSet.so and
libvixUser.so, which probably need to be moved to open-vm-toolbox.

Adding the following lines to debian/rules install section fixed this
for me:

        mkdir -p debian/open-vm-toolbox/usr/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmusr
        mv debian/open-vm-tools/usr/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmusr/libresolutionSet.so debian/open-vm-toolbox/usr/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmusr
        mv debian/open-vm-tools/usr/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmusr/libvixUser.so debian/open-vm-toolbox/usr/lib/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmusr
