Alright, good enough for libdumbnet. I'd still like to see its test
suite fixed up and enabled. But if the cloud team is on top of things
(and they are subbed to bugs), we'll be able to fix any problems.

Canonical's Cloudware team is confident that we can support libdumbnet.
While it may have some rough edges, we have evaluated the package
extensively. We will take ownership for issues related to this package.
Additionally, libdumbnet is know at libdnet for SuSE/SLES and Fedora/Red

OK, open-vm-tools itself looks fine. Seth reviewed it, and I looked at
the packaging a bit.
Archive admins: when you promote this, I believe we just need open-vm-

What's the maintenance story with libdumbnet? It is orphaned in Debian
and seems slightly bitrotten. For example, the configure check for
libcheck doesn't look in a multiarch directory (not that it matters, we
disregard test results, but it's a sign of negelect).

I'm generally ignorant on open-vm-tools and vmware as a hypervisor, so

I'd like for them to be addressed separately.

So the -dkms part is not nessasary for Saucy. The package that we need
is really open-vm-tools which is the cli tools for the images and guest
information which is reported to the hypervisor. For ESXi and clouds
based on VMware, this will give the hypervisor the ability to modfiy the
guest.

Regarding the question: what would the tools get us in a cloud image,
here is some more details for you:
Open-VM-Tools is a suite of open source virtualization utilities that
improves the functionality, administration and management of virtual
machines on VMware hypervisors.

All drivers supported by vSphere/ESXi have been accepted upstream as of the 3.9
kernel, these are:

- vmw_pvscsi (our virtual HBA) = Acceted in the 2.6.33 kernel and began

Hm.. I've read more of your info there. I without fully reading I was
