You should sync 10.0.7, it fixes various bugs compared to 10.0.5

From the MIR bug:

So this should be a merge, not a sync. There is already a delta with Debian due to this universe dependency, and 10.0.0->10.0.7 is a bugfix series, so retaining this delta to the dependencies should not introduce any regressions.

Because we are now only 1 week away from release, this is quite late in the hour for an FFe. However, in discussing with the CPC team, if this does not go in as an FFe then they would want to pursue a MRE for this and I believe the package would qualify. I'm therefore going to upload this to xenial-proposed and treat this bug as a blocking bug for migration pending a final decision.

Steve, thanks for the upload. I have manually tested on vmware workstation 12 to validated that host<->guest FUSE and desktop integration (desktop resize, clock sync, shared clipboard, and drag-and-drop) are working.

The testing was successful and we would like this considered for promotion from -proposed at this time. We're hoping to get open-vm-tools in to the archive before we start spinning images; upstream have committed to supporting 10.0.7 (the version in -proposed) but not 10.0.0.
