Sure. Not that I expect the vmware-kernel-source package to allow me to build a package with the compiled modules, not only use module assistant. I may want to use them on another computer etc. Second, note the invocation of emacs on rules near the beginning. What I do is change the line dh_builddeb --destdir=$(DEB_DESTDIR) to dh_builddeb --destdir=/home/abel/test otherwise the package-build fails with an error (inserted at the end of the mail). This is not the fault of this package I suppose, but it thas happen _even_ if I set DEB_DESTDIR by for example export DEB_DESTDIR=/home/abel/test before invoking dpkg-builddeb. (This is on sid/amd64 updated today. Yesterday fakeroot had some peculiar failure modes but not today.)
