It already does.  make-vmpkg(1) extracts the product name and version
from the filename.  If you haven't renamed the vmware tarball, they
should be detected automatically.  Specifically, the upstream version is
extracted on line 82 of /usr/bin/make-vmpkg.

OK, I'll update -m to utilize the $DEB environment variables, and then
fall back on something sane if they're not found.
