Later observation: On one vm I had no problem with this open-vm-tools rebuilding all previous kernel versions as well as the backported one. On another, the dkms build failed on the previous latest-lucid kernel and proceeded no further, and I had to manually enter the dkms commands to build and install for the backport kernel. No idea why that should be different, but I'm not an expert at this. :-) Reveals need for package backport to be made available I guess. :-)
