>  * presence of '| network-manager-dbg'

network-manager-dbg depends on network-manager and this dependency is
or'ed, so what is wrong about that?

> * presence of connman (connman is a conflicts of network-manager)

If we/apt talks about dependencies, we usually mean all of them as
enumerating all of them tends to be quiet painful.

You have two options:
* -o APT::Cache::ShowDependencyType=1
which results in a similar output as with "depends" (it is the same code).
* --important --no-conflicts --no-replaces --no-breaks --no-pre-depends
(^ the last one might actually not be what you want, but hints at why we tend 
to have a relaxed interpretation of things)

I would like to have the first one as default, but given that scripts
exist which depend on this (insane) behavior, no dice…
