Bug Description

I'm using Oneiric Beta 1, and the open-vm-tools packaging from the Oneiric main repo.

I'm in the process of getting the August packaging ready for upload/proposal. After logging into the X session (after login), the NumLock doesn't engage (I thought this was a bug in the July packages, which would be fixed in the August packaging, but I was wrong)

NumLock has previously engaged after I installed the Tools (The March packaging backward).

I don't know if I nicked something when doing the work on the July release. Right now, my solution to this problem is installing NumLockX. I was going to put the package as a suggested package in the August release, but I wanted a second opinion.

I want to know if I'm the only one encountering this or not? If I'm not the only one, I want to know:
1) Are there any other packages encountering this issue (like Bug #836277)?
2) A fix to the problem (which I'll add to my packaging), or whether my solution is good enough (adding NumLockX as a suggested (or even a Recommended) package).
