Bug Description
[Impact]
* In the past a lack of updated open-vm-tools versions was found fatal
and therefore we agreed to regularly backport those to the latest LTS.
This is backporting the recent version 11.1 to Focal.
[Test Case]
* Test open-vm-tools done by VMWare QA Team as agreed for these
backports.
[Regression Potential]
* This has the usual regression potential of a new version upgrade and
therefore is higher than a usual SRU. But as agreed int he past to
support new (virtual) hardware open-vm-tools shall regularly be
backported. I suggest keeping it somewhat longer in proposed than usual
just to be on the safe side.
[Other Info]
* This is a practice for or quite a while (almost two years now), see:

The request back then came from the community and the decision back then was between VMWare and Ubuntu. VMWare QA Team since then does the qualification of these uploads as we (I) don't have a matrix of Host versions for that around.
Under the accepted special SRU cases [1] this qualifies for #2 and #3 of [2].

Thank you Oliver,
it will take some time as we always let it mature in the current -dev release a while but as usual we will later on also backport this to the latest LTS therefore I'm adding a focal task right away.
The package is currently in sync, so I'd wait for Bernd to bump this in Debian unless this is more urgent (as we are only at the beginning of the groovy cycle).
@bzed - I know you usually see these bugs, if you need help to prep this in Debian let me know.
