Hi,
testing for this is mostly done by VMWare related to bug 1741390
But if one wants to give it a try there are trial VMWare versions and ppa [1] is available.
This is a slightly uncommon MP, so let me explain.
1. it is against debian/sid as we want to merge the latest version we have as SRU to Xenial
2. Bionic has a slightly newer version now, but it consists of adding and removing a change, so it is essentially the same (except changelog noise that isn't needed/wanted here)
3. This package seems to hit quite a lot backporting issues due to debhelper behaving different back then, this was what most of the tests and backport-delta is about
