Bug#820410: gnome should not depend on network-manager-gnome

Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.14+4
Severity: important

Network manager is crap and causes all sorts of issues for machines with
static, stable connections.

Unfortunately, gnome *requires* network-manager-gnome instead of
recommends.

$ sudo dpkg --purge network-manager network-manager-gnome
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of network-manager-gnome:
 gnome depends on network-manager-gnome (>= 0.9.10).

dpkg: error processing package network-manager-gnome (--purge):
 dependency problems - not removing
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of network-manager:

dpkg: error processing package network-manager (--purge):

Please allow the user to remove the blight that is network manager w/o
uninstalling all of gnome.
