Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel) wrote : Add Modaliases to open-vm-tools-desktop to allow automatic installation by ubuntu-drivers

On Ubuntu Desktop, we want to install automatically at installation time open-vm-tools-desktop and its dependencies to provide an improved user experience on first boot after installation of the guest, and provide an easy way to install the drivers after installation if they have not been installed at installation time.

It means adding an XB-Modaliases field to the control file for the record 'open-vm-tools-desktop'
