The latest upload of network-manager no longer makes sure that
installing gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0 also pulls in gir1.2-nm-1.0
This means your package will now fail to work, as the NM typelib is no
longer guaranteed to be installed. Thus raising to RC.

Please consider applying the patch I provided in my previous email.
