I don't know if it's because I'm inpatient, or not, but I think I'm going to give this a try. I just got to make a small revision to the code (I got to uncomment a couple of lines). This will be done to the packaging, not the branch (not now, at least).

The revision (aka the uncommenting of lines) is so I have some sort of packaging (for open-vm-toolbox) to look at. So I can see what remains in the code after the removal of the GUI Toolbox.

This is the plan:
-Stuff that goes into the open-vm-toolbox package will go into the open-vm-tools package. At least the stuff that isn't commented out.
-All package dependencies for open-vm-toolbox will added to the open-vm-tools dependencies.
-Any other packages that require open-vm-toolbox, will point to the open-vm-tools package.

I should have almost finished product in a couple of days, for everyone to try. Will it work, I don't know? As a minimum, I would like open-vm-toolbox (transitional or not) to successfully install/update without any issues.
