How to install open source vmware tools on Ubuntu lucid

I did not find a simple and straightforward solution anywhere, so here it is:

apt-get install --no-install-recommends open-vm-source module-assistant
module-assistant prepare open-vm
module-assistant auto-install open-vm
apt-get install --no-install-recommends open-vm-tools

This approach has a nice side effect: when you update your kernel, the modules gets recompiled too.
