While the main verification is on VMWare as usual this bug - since it is referenced in the changelog - is tracked as well.
And while right now there are no intentions to pick up the modalias with the other tools (e.g. installer) lets make sure this worked for the open-vm-tools portion on the backport.

I poked at ubunut-drivers a bit to check if things would work and got
open-vm-tools-desktop: installed: 2:10.3.10-1~ubuntu0.18.04.1 available: 2:10.3.10-1~ubuntu0.18.04.1 (auto-install) [distro] free
Not perfect, but ok - and given that we don't SRU the installer part that is ok.

For the context here the important part is if the modalias is there, and that is true for both releases.

$ apt show open-vm-tools-desktop 2>/dev/null | grep Modalias
Modaliases: vmwgfx(pci:v000015ADd00000405sv*sd*bc*sc*i*)
