I'm really really sorry! This one is my mistake! I somehow mistook sid for 
squeeze the whole time...
Well, the short version: This package broke in squeeze (the testing branch). Of 
course the one in unstable is fixed for sure, but it'll take a while until it 
makes it into testing, right? For now, the broken version is in the testing 
branch and breaking my machines.

I managed to reproduce the bug on a clean install, by the way:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use an empty VMX in VMPlayer
2. Install Debian squeeze on it (netinst) with default options (skipped the 
desktop environment, only system utilities installed beyond the base system)
3. First command on login:  apt-get install open-vm-tools
4. Broken install received

kernel: 2.6.32-3-686 #1 SMP
open-vm-tools version: 2010.03.20-243334-4
/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib

Sorry again for my mistake... Also this is the first time for me using 
bugzilla, so I'm still new to this way of error resolving...
