@Shane, I assume your referring to the dependencies of: xauth, xserver-xorg- input-vmmouse, and xserver-xorg-video-vmware. I don't know if xdg-utils is a X-related Package or not.
But I have 2 options, which could use input. And for the record, I'm going to add to my August release proposal (which will be a brand new one) 1) Create a package called "open-vm-tools-gui," which will include only X-related packages, and depend on open-vm-tools. So it technically will be a dummy file (I think). I don't know how to have the package auto-install if it detects that Ubuntu isn't running a server. This option is also troublesome, I think you know why. If this option chosen, I might create a proposal for Oneiric-Proposed. 2) I can't remember my original #2, but here's an alternate. Approve my proposal (which one has be added for Precise), so that we have something to work with.
