[Vmware-package-maintainers] Bug#468057: Reopening 468057

[Benjamin E. Schallar]

As far as I know mixed systems aren't officially supported,
usually you are on your own if you mix systems.

If you use apt-pinning, my understanding was the developers assume you 
know what you're doing and what dependency-problems you might run into.

Kind regards,
Benjamin
