Package: network-manager Version: 0.9.5.95-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer, Unfortunately network-manager is required by gnome to be installed at the moment. I am asking the Debian Gnome team if this can be fixed, but it might also be nice to be able to disable network manager for systems which are configured in different ways.
