Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8-1
Severity: wishlist
NetworkManager has support for integrating with ifupdown to cooperate
with the system-wide configuration the user already has. However, it
seems like NetworkManager should work fine with ifupdown not installed
at all, since it then has no configuration to cooperate with. If the
sysadmin wants ifupdown and its configuration, they'll already have it
installed; NetworkManager shouldn't need to depend on it.
So, could NetworkManager remove its ifupdown Depends, or change it to an
Enhances or similar?

The dependency on ifupdown is correct, as ifup is used to setup the loopback
interface
(see backends/NetworkManagerDebian.c:void nm_system_enable_loopback (void))
