  * [0f35aee] Add modaliases to open-vm-tools-desktop.
    Added Modaliases to open-vm-tools-desktop to auto-discover and

    installed at installation time and available on first boot for an
    improved user experience (LP: #1819207)

  [ Bernd Zeimetz ]
  * [dc4e1ce] Load vmwgfx module before vmtoolsd starts.
    As discussed on github in vmware/open-vm-tools#214
    we need to load the vmwgfx module before starting vmtoolsd
    for desktop users. Otherwise it is not able to retrieve the KMS
    resolutions and resizing the VM desktop fails.
    Thanks to @thomashvmw @rhertzog (Closes: #924518)

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Without SRUing the newer version users get issues running on more
     recent hypervisors - this is a case of [1] in the SRU policy.

   * Furthermore Upstream releases this as a collection of fixes which is 
     usually worth to pick up.

   * This is not backporting a single fix, but the version of a latter
     Ubuntu release

  [Test Case]

   * TL;DR is "use open-vm-tools" but that can be quite complex for the
     variety of potential Host versions.

   * VMWare itself took ownership of verifying these backports and will test 
     the same bits from a PPA and the SRU for the official "ack"

   * We tried upgrading and the setup that I had available, everybody that
     has different setups is invited to test theirs.

   * In general I recommend to give this some extra time in -proposed to see 
     if anybody comes up with issues on this.

  [Regression Potential]

   * It is a new version which might contain new issues. This time a bit 
     safer than the last one thou, as we have already backported some bigger 
     changes between 10.3.5 -> 10.3.10 with individual SRUs so the remaining 
     changes should be rather safe.

  [Other Info]

   * This time this is only the MRE, no extra bugs (with extra 
     test/verification descriptions) are associated.
   * As agreed back when processing bug 1741390 the real verification of
     open-vm-tools for having the proper test matrix and project ownership 
     is on VMWare.
