I think we should first hear from Sjoerd; it's likely that Sjoerd was
unaware that this change conflicted with the CTTE's decision.[1]

looks to be the change, and the changelog indicates that it was done to
enable the network control panel. Assuming the rest of the gnome control
center will work without NM, and only the network control panel would
fail, then this Depends: isn't strictly necessary, though it may be the
case that a Recommends: is warranted.

what if my mother could take back hers?
