Thank you very much!
I will try the package from your ppa as soon as I'm able.

Please note that the related open-vm-tools-desktop package also needs to be kept at the same version as open-vm-tools. As I mentioned we're using VMware's "Horizon View" product so I require this also.
Do I need to raise a bug against that package also?

I linked open-vm-tools version 10.2.0 as it is the stable latest available. My thinking is that if an update is necessary (and with the testing that involves) why not go to the latest now?!

Could you please clarify this:
"
The maintainer scripts have not a lot (actually none) version dependent special cases that sometimes wreaking havok for such backports.
"
as I don't understand. The statement seems to contradict itself.

Thank you again!
