Hi John:

There is no fuse3 kernel module.
Only the userspace changed.

$ modinfo fuse
name:           fuse
filename:       (builtin)
alias:          devname:fuse
alias:          char-major-10-229
alias:          fs-fuseblk
alias:          fs-fuse
license:        GPL
description:    Filesystem in Userspace
author:         Miklos Szeredi <mik...@szeredi.hu>
alias:          fs-fusectl
parm:           max_user_bgreq:Global limit for the maximum number of 
backgrounded requests an unprivileged user can set (uint)
parm:           max_user_congthresh:Global limit for the maximum congestion 
threshold an unprivileged user can set (uint)

$ modinfo fuse3
modinfo: ERROR: Module fuse3 not found.

So that should not change.


Furthermore in all situations where configure can auto-detect one or the other 
it is wise to hard-select the one you want, so in the config stage I added 
--with-fuse=fuse3.

Overall this is what i did and would recommend to reflect in your repo:
https://salsa.debian.org/vmware-packaging-team/pkg-open-vm-tools/-/commit/d5176b54c3eab66396f4a05bd82e0853eb9e8a71

But then I'm not perfect - if you spot something missing on my end let
me know!

> Please advise if VMware needs to make any changes to their internal
Ubuntu open-vm-tools packaging.
