The tools.conf template shipped with Ubuntu (debian/local/tools.conf) is incorrect.

It's current contents:
bindir = "/usr/bin"
do not mean anything to open-vm-tools - it's not interpreted in any way by vmtoolsd.

Moreover, on the first launch this content is cleared by a piece of code doing a "config upgrade".

I believe replacing it with a more meaningful content is necessary.
