Public bug reported:

Please consider syncing the following changes from Debian
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1315963/accepted-network-manager-1364-2-source-into-unstable/

For more background see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-

Seeing that Ubuntu 22.04 will ship wpasupplicant 2.10 it would be good
to have this patch.

When you sync the changes from Debian, a few remarks on the remaining
diff to the Debian package:

- isc-dhcp-client Depends
NetworkManager defaults to its internal dhcp client (based on sd-network) since 
a while. Ubuntu doesn't override that default. So either it should explicitly 
override that default and specify dhclient as preferred dhcp client or it 
should drop this dependency as Debian does (or at least demote it).

- avahi-autoipd Suggests
NetworkManager doesn't use avahi-autoipd anymore. See the relevant commit from 
2016!
https://salsa.debian.org/utopia-team/network-manager/-/commit/d701201bfd5b2d7a6bb1cc81660ae55fd4f4e36b

- lto 
Enabling lto means significantly increased build times. Last time I checked the 
space savings were miniscule. That's why the Debian doesn't enable lto.

- restarting NM on upgrades
NM does *not* tear down Ethernet connections on restart. For WiFi connections 
the situation is different but keep in mind that wpasupplicant.postinst will 
restart its service anyway
