Yes, you are right.

This is the same trouble in samba package:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=669891

It is not a bug in package and not a bug in network-manager, but 
peoples unhappied :)


Can you try to add /usr/bin/nm-online call into /etc/default/bacula-fd 
and check, that problem solved and there is no annoying delays in work?

I don't know yet, how to change initscripts and don't break machines 
without network-manager, so i need more time for investigate.
