Bug#542095: should recommend network-manager-gnome

[Joey Hess]

It seems safe enough to move network-manager-gnome to a recommends.
Then it will be installed by default, but won't block local
configuration.

FWIW, my own reasons for wanting this are twofold:

1. I'd like to be able to keep wicd installed on my laptop,
   but the result is I can't install the gnome metapackage there.
2. Sometimes when I set up a desktop machine, that is on a wired
   LAN, and has users of a certian class (<cough>), it's best
   to avoid all possible network failure modes, by not providing the
   user with a network manager UI at all. Maybe even using static
   network setup in some cases. However, in this case I *especially*
   still want to keep the gnome metapackage installed, since I want
   the machine to keep a working gnome desktop on upgrade.
