[Freedombox-pkg-team] Bug#862758: Switch from gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0 to gir1.2-nm-1.0

Hi,

the libnm-glib/libnm-util libraries have been deprecated upstream in
favour of libnm.

Atm, the GIR bindings for libnm-glib/libnm-util and libnm are both
shipped in gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0

To make a transition to libnm easier, the libnm based bindings were
split into a separate package gir1.2-nm-1.0 [1], which is currently
available in experimental and will be uploaded once buster opens for
development.

Your package plinth declares a (build-)dependency on
gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0 but fortunately already uses the new libnm
based bindings. So switching the dependencies from
gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0 → gir1.2-nm-1.0 is all that's needed.

It would be great if you can prepare the necessary changes in
experimental or make them early in the buster development cycle.

Regards,
Michael
