That can't just be added. To detect whether or not it actually runs in
a VM it queries some io ports. While this would actually work to
determine it isn't running in a VM, it cannot actually do that, since
it's runnning in userland. The query on that port on non-VMWare hosts
runs into a general protection fault and will crash the input_server.
Therefore it can't just be installed by default (it would need a kernel
side driver to do that detection for it).

Have you considered building images yourself? With a customized
UserBuildConfig you could then easily add anything you need.
