Sorry, it was my mistake. I had problems compiling the open-vm modules, so I tried many solutions and I also installed those -dev packages following this article: http://www.debianadmin.com/install-open-vm-tools-on-debian-40-etch.html I now understand that the only reason why I couldn't compile the modules is connected with bug #278711, while all those -dev packages are actually not needed to compile the modules. Applying the patch posted in bug #278711 solved my problems. You can close/delete this bug.
