Bug#692049: gnome-shell: 3.6 will FTBFS on kfreebsd-any (network-manager not optional)

[Simon McVittie]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.6.0-1
Severity: normal
Forwarded: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679871
Tags: experimental

Shell 3.6.0 disabled the patch to make NM support optional, which will make
it FTBFS on kfreebsd-any:

gnome-shell (3.6.0-1) experimental; urgency=low
  ...
  * d/p/10-make-NetworkManager-optional.patch: Temporarily disabled

I'm filing this bug because I noticed an upstream bug report by someone
from OpenBSD, which included a patch to make NM optional at build time.
This has been merged for 3.7, so "wait for 3.8" and "backport that patch"
are probably viable strategies for closing this bug.

However, the upstream bug is still open, because the patch was incomplete.
Perhaps parts of our 3.4 patch are also relevant?
