Comment 51 for bug 1741390

Hi evade,
yes it is taken care of.

In Packaging there are source and binary packages.
When we say "we update X" we mean we upload a new src:X
But from your consumption point of view you use binary packages (that is what you install).
And src:open-vm-tools creates open-vm-tools-dev, open-vm-tools-desktop, open-vm-tools
So you'll be good once this completes.

Afterwards I hope to be able to do kind of a retrospective with all involved people and make this a regular action to backport the new version that goes out with an Ubuntu Release back to the last LTS at least - but lets first complete this work here :-)
