With the current clause you're setting yourself up for future fights
about what people were trying to do. If your actual goal is to avoid
increasing the probability that network-manager is increased on upgrade,
then focus on that. That way, if something comes up that has the affect
of increasing network-manager installs you can agree it's a bug without
a disagreement about intent.
