Package: vmware-package
Version: 0.21
Severity: normal
The generated package vmware-kernel-source_XXXX_all.deb has a static
control file that makes dp_builddeb in debian/rules build a new
vmware-kernel-source package. The modules are compiled but never
included in a package.
There is a file control.modules.in that seems aimed at precisely this.
I added one line seen in the patch which fixed this particular problem.
the generated kernel source package was made by
fakeroot make-vmpkg VMware-workstation-6.0.2-59824.x86_64.tar.gz
on a amd64/sid box.

PS
By the way, the line
dh_builddeb --destdir=$(DEB_DESTDIR)
does not have a nice default, if the variable is not defined the
package building fails if one does not have write access to /usr.
