As I expected installing but not configuring/triggering sdmp does
nothing than loading the .so.

That makes it even more safe to not regress users that don't use it.
** Description changed:
[Impact]
- * In the past a lack of updated open-vm-tools versions was found fatal
- and therefore we agreed to regularly backport those to the latest LTS.
- This is backporting the recent version 11.1 to Focal.

- * The main bug for 11.0 is bug 1877672. But this time other than the
- fixes/improvements this will also bring a new

- a) discuss separately fro the SRU process
- b) have VMWare test explicitly as part of the verification

[Regression Potential]
- * As I said this bug is especially for the sdmp plugin. I doubt it will
- regress anyone since it is not installed by default (only a suggests).
- The only (unlikely) case I can tihnk of is if someone does like
- apt install open-vm-*
- or something like that. But even in that case the plugin does not do
- much until actually probed from the host.

The request back then came from the community and the decision back then
was between VMWare and Ubuntu. VMWare QA Team since then does the
qualification of these uploads as we (I) don't have a matrix of Host
versions for that around.
Under the accepted special SRU cases [1] this qualifies for #2 and #3 of
[2].

Version 11.1.0 adds the sdmp plugin, see
https://marketplace.vmware.com/vsx/solutions/vrealize-operations-
service-discovery-management-pack?ref=search
This should be in an optional separate package. Attached is a patch for
the Debian scripts that would create this package. This has been used in
our internal testing. Note that there is an additional runtime
dependency on net-tools for netstat.
Also at Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=960065
Thanks,
Oliver
