The open-vm-tools homepage has some wishful thinking about hopefully working with other virtualization technologies eventually, but nothing concrete. Many packages in contrib could at some point go into main if they become useful with non-proprietary software, but that doesn't make it reasonable to put them in main speculatively while they still only work with proprietary software. - Josh Triplett
