Bug#542095: NM conflicts with sanity

[Adam Borowski]

Hi!

Could we please get the trimmed down gnome-desktop-environment metapackage
back?  One without network-manager and avahi.

Currently, there's choice between having gnome but no networking more
complex than DHCP, or no gnome.

Trying to upgrade gnome manually results in a blank screen with blue
vertical stripes that doesn't respond to anything but Ctrl-Alt-Backspace,
or, with gnome-fallback, same screen with an inoperative menu.  The
packaging doesn't give a clue about what could be missing.  Thus, even for a
technical person who doesn't know gnome's insides, the metapackage is pretty
useful.

If it doesn't conflict with having networking, that is.
