Description

Virtual Debian Jessie with VMWare are considered physical, while they are virtual

The relevant info we should use to correctly detect they are virtual are:

 cat /proc/modules | grep -i vmw
vmw_balloon 12658 0 - Live 0xfXXXXXXXXXXX
vmwgfx 165847 0 - Live 0xfXXXXXXXXXXX
vmw_vmci 55383 0 - Live 0xfXXXXXXXXXXX
